Austintatious Trip

The past month or so, Luisa has been in Austin with my family because they lost electricity for about 3 weeks with Ike and dad went out of town for a while. Coming here is the best therapy for her, the kids make her interact with them, throw balls and of course the best therapy of all, they make her happy. She shopped with me, washed every piece of clothing in our house (including my cell phone in my jeans), went to drop and pick the kids up at school and ordered me around like old times.

We had Andrew's birthday party last weekend and I was a little concerned how she would react in a social environment with a lot of people who wanted to talk to her about her accident and recovery of which she has very little or no memory of all of it. Well, she was a social butterfly talking to everyone and enjoying adult beverages:) I know I don't need to say it, but to have her there, I mean really there, is so overwhleming and beautiful to me-we are a lucky family.

Thursday, Lu had an appointment with her neuro-psychiatrist to take a battery of tests that she took when she was in TIRR in May. We have not gotten the results back, but when she saw the man who gave her the initial tests, he explained that while she was in the hospital he asked her what year it was. He said it took her about 15 minutes to come up with an answer, and that it was wrong-well he asked her the other day the day/month/year and without hesitation she answered-he responded with a HUGE smile-he was very impressed with how far she has come since May.

Hope each of you is having a great start to your fall season.
Geaux Tigers!
