Day by day it seems that mom becomes more aware of herself and the world around her. Two days ago I got a phone call from my dad who I could tell was elated for some reason-he had just gotten his first phone call from Lu since Oct. 31. She doesn't grasp how awesome all of these little tasks that she is initiating on her own are. We, are so grateful and marvel each day at our miracle.
Yesterday, dad went for family training and when he got there Lu had on makeup. She told me that she was just sitting in her room waiting for therapy and "put her face on." Both of these actions are soooo hopeful because she is having the idea to do something and actually following through with it. A major part of left frontal lobe brain injuries is failure to initiate-slowly that little fireball is igniting again.
Best,
Luisa, Charlie and the kids

Oh Mis Louisa!!
So glad to hear that you "put your face on!" You will be gearing up Mardi Gras make up in no time! Can not wait to go shopping for new make up with you! Sounds like you are getting around beautifully!
It's funny...the more Robin updates us all with great news, the more anxious I get to be in Houston with you. Especially sharing vegie burgers at Houston's Rest! I nearly cried when i read that these are your favorite---i like to order them with cole slaw--you!?? You must have been thrilled to have a day our with Chaz and Claire!
Yesterday, Mr. and MRs Fisher, some business clients of Mr. Charlie ate at Commander's Palace---i sat them in the Garden Room right next to Allen Toussaint! I know how much you love istting in the Garden Room---I long for the day that i can have you and Mr. Charlie there!
It's amazing the impact your recovery has on all of us. Your ability to overcome this trauma, along with the strength and support exhibited by your loving family is so inspiring to us all. Be as proud as we are of you---your family is a reflection of your love.
Happy Mother's Day, Mrs. Louisa---we all miss you and love you!
