Tuesday 7-26

Lynn was smiling and laughing about things in her room and wants to answer her phone when it rings without giving it to anyone else. She is receiving Occupational therapy twice a week, Speech therapy three times a week and one visit from a nurse and one from Physical therapist. There are a few outpatient visits to Kaiser. She is having some difficulty understanding her situation and remembering some common things such as what her favorite flavors or food are until she has a chance to taste them. She found out Strawberry beats vanilla, chocolate and lemon at 31 flavors today. She saw a photo of herself and her brother when at Vallejo after the trach tube was removed and asked about it and what was before. She wanted to see more knowing it would be dramatic and with two family members giving her support was shown the photos taken throughout her recovery, including those at Santa Rosa Memorial a few days after the accident and a few of the van and truck. She did not want to keep them but now knows the tremendous gains she has made and the tragic circumstances involved. She has no interest in the criminal justice proceedings and does not wish to discuss them.
