Update On Judy - Stimulating Her Mind
Just got in this update from Michelle, who is still at LifeCare with Judy and doing different activites with her to try to speed her recovery from the brain stuff (btw, she was wanting all of us to forward pictures that Judy had sent us earlier of her dogs, cats, goose, etc.:, to aid in her rehab efforts) :

Hi Everyone,
Thanks to all who forwarded pictures to me. I am at FedEx Kinko's right now and have printed a bunch off. I think I'm going to try to create a collage or something.
So here is a little update...
I got to meet one of Aunt Judy's nurses today and gave him a little update on what I knew since Aunt Judy is new in this facility.
This morning, I also went to FedEx Kinko's and created a little "factoid" sheet of Aunt Judy-- things that they could talk about with her to help her recover. I had that sheet laminated, and put it up on the corkboard in her room. I also got a nice bright orange Gerbera Daisy plant and put it on her window sill with one of those little balloons-- a bright yellow sun that has Get Well Soon on it.
I talked a lot to Aunt Judy. She responded by squeezing both hands. Then the most amazing thing happened-- I got my grandma on my phone to talk to her, and I put it to her ear. Aunt Judy raised her left hand and held my hand, and I asked grandma what she told her... Grandma said that she told her that I'm here, and to hold my hand! PRAISE GOD! And then I put the phone back to her ear, and guess what? She started moving her legs, and then raised her hand ALL THE WAY UP TO HER FACE/EAR, and held the phone... and then handed it to me!!!!!! I again asked what grandma told her, and she said that she told her to kick, but not too high! She said that her Aunt Aggie used to say that if you kick high, the guys have to pay you! lol! So I told her that. I told her to move her feet again, and she did! I told the nurse about it, and asked him to continue to work with her, and he said he would. She is there... she just needs to come out... Come out and play, Aunt Judy!!!
GOD IS GOOD... ALL THE TIME...
Thank you so much for everything y'all are doing for her.
I have to get off this computer before I go broke... lol... and finish my little project with the pictures. I'll get back to Aunt Judy soon...
Later,
Michelle
