Emotional night for Kerrie… her speech seems to be much better than when I left, on Monday, but she’s still having a problem with using the correct words. She gets upset and very teary when we can’t understand what she is trying to tell us… makes me feel so bad. I can only imagine what it must be like for her.

She had an EEG today, to check for seizure activity, but no results of that yet. Her platellets and white blood cell counts are low, so they gave her transfusions today.. and lots of benidryl to go with it. She seems pretty out of it, but most of that is probably all the benidryl, oxycotten and dilauded she has running through her system right now.

I was just sitting here, watching Kerrie, and I told her I thought she was beautiful. When she smiled I said, “you really are beautiful Kerrie.” She gave me a half smile, rolled her eyes and said “Jenn.. just play your game!”

“I’m not playing a game! I’m putting a post on your web page!”

“Oh, well just do that then.”

She wants me to hurry, because she wants the computer.

She’s been spending a lot of time trying to get caught up on all the posts in the gallery and it’s so cute to watch. She reads a couple of pages and then drift off to sleep with her fingers on the touchpad.. a few minutes later she’ll wake up and go right back to reading more posts… she drifts off every few minutes, but when her eyes open she wants that computer right there.

It does make me a little nervouse that she has that big cup of ice, that eventually becomes a big cup of water, sitting so close to the computer that it could type it’s own e-mails… but I try to ignore the visions of that big cup falling over onto the keyboard. She loves being able to finally get back on her web page and I love that I’m able to give her the means to do it…

Hey Kerrie… let’s move that cup of ice over just a teeny, little bit 🙂
