It had been quite some time since this accident happened. My daughter's birthday is tomorrow, and she had a party Saturday night. Her best friend was there. It was difficult for her, but she wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Her recovery has been slow and often brutal, but she is walking and talking and she can read and write. She has severe short-term memory loss and is unable to do even the most simple math problems. But she is alive, she is here, we can hug her and tell her we love her, and she can do the same for us. Her little sister called last week to tell my daughter that she can finally participate in recess again!

I wanted to thank all of you for your good wishes and prayers. I can't even begin to express how wonderful it was to see the two girls together Saturday night.
