[QUOTE="DDD, post: 402739, member: 35"] Based on what I've read she was in great physical condition in addition to being vibrant. Those factors will help her gain her best level. Physically easy child/difficult child was able to recover quicker than the others on his ward who weren't in their prime. on the other hand, of course, the mental functioning was not so quick. One thing that I personally find interesting is that twice it has been noted that they had to remove bones from her head which are going to be replaced. They appropriately stored easy child/difficult child's bones at the hospital. Months after the surgery, however, the brain surgeon said "your head shape looks fine now the plates have settked so let's not undergo surgery to get your bones back in...you don't need them." Maybe she won't need that extra surgery either. The rehab people really take the patients to the max and don't even blink if a patient spews four letter words. I was upset and mortified by the language that came out of easy child/difficult child's mouth until I heard other patients who were as bad. The rehab people told us to think of it as a good sign that he could speak because many couldn't. Each experience is different but I am following the reports on her closely. by the way the CD family was extraordinary and I still thank God for Sunny (boy, I miss seeing her around here!) because she was in a related field of medicine and fed me information, leads, etc. as I traveled that new world.
