Be ready to hear (read) something from Jitka very soon.  She asked me for a note pad and pen today! 

She had a towel on her chest and was trying to clean her teeth today as we arrived for our morning visit.  Of course it is normal to think brushing our own teeth can be taken for granted.  For her, it was such a proud moment.  We had a good laugh when I ended up finishing the job for her and covered myself with “stuff”….

She was also happy to notice her left arm mobility allowed her to touch her forehead with her left hand. 

She is still on thick liquid diet as far as fluids go.  Today I was allowed to bring her a mango smoothie.  She was SO happy about it.

The kids and I are staying at our friends’ (Melissa and Charlie) house until tomorrow.  We are invited to move in with Todd and Meg as well, but I am afraid of dropping gears and getting lazy if we do so - those guys are already babysitting/cooking for/feeding/supporting us as is.  I am afraid of getting too comfortable.  Next thing you know I am sleeping 8 hrs a night….

Jitka has Sunday “off”.  Nothing on her schedule.  So lets hope she rounds up a couple of thoughts and sends out a note to be published here.  If she won’t, I’ll just pretend she did and write a bunch of good stuff about myself:)
