Eye-opening afternoon!!!

Yesterday, Kimberly had an eye-opening afternoon. For speech, she watched a video that showed the affects and after affects of a stroke. Up until this point, she had not heard anyone say that she had a stroke. All she heard was she had a bleed in the brain. However, the video made her realize that she is ahead of the recovery curve. Now that is knows what happened she could not believe that she was able to call me and say what was wrong with her on July 19th.

This morning she was able to put her hair in a ponytail all by herself. She is getting stronger by the hour. The only problem we are going to have with Kimberly, is her getting to brave and trying to do things by herself. For the next few months she needs 24-hour care. This should not be a problem for her family, my family, and I to provide but this will be a problem for her, Miss Independent, to accept.
