My mom can talk!!!!! What an incredible moment. Karl went to see her yesterday at lunch and we always talk with her when we are in her room we just know we won't get a response. Karl walked in and said "Hi mom" and she said "Hi" Karl was like "wo you can talk" and she looked at him and smiled. Karl asked how she was feeling and she said that her stomach hurt. He said they had a good conversation. She doesn't remember what happened and when Karl told her she was in a car accident she said "No I wasn't". She is definately a little grouchy which is to be expected from her brain injury but it was pretty funny the things she would say. She had planned to have a neck surgery done next month prior to this happening to have the arthritis in her neck fixed. We had the surgeon fix it after the accident when he fixed her broken neck. I asked her if she remembered that she was planning to have that surgery done and she said she did and I told her she didn't have to worry about it because they had fixed it already. She looked at me and said "I want that documented!" It was funny. It is so nice for her to voice her concerns and questions. She had quite a few. She asked how long she had to wear her neck brace, where Seth was and how long until she gets to go home. It was such a wonderful day. When we get one good day it makes all the bad ones disappear and we know that we will have the strength to get through some more. I cannot believe the miracle we are all watching. Heavenly Father has blessed us more than we could of ever imagined. One of the doctors told my aunt on Saturday that her recovery is unbelievable. He said she should not be alive. I don't know why this happened but I do know that in the month since it's happened my family has grown so much. We have always been close but something like this can either bring out the best in you or the worst. Thankfully we have all turned to Heavenly Father to give us the strength and guidance that we have needed. Not only us but the doctors and my mom as well. It will be forever impossible to describe the emotions we have all felt over the last month. Not only the sadness but the immense joy that has come to us also.
If you have a moment to listen to the words of the song that is playing it touches on the feelings we have.
