Tuesday day

Hannah had been waking up at 3 am for the past few nights and so last night they decided to give her some melatonin at 2.  Yep it worked.  She has pretty much just wanted to sleep today.  She did have the swallow study this morning and it went well.  She can start to eat a little bit-a modified diet that does not include Chik-FilA, but it's a start!  They also will be giving her more therapy time.  The minimum requirement to get into the rehab program is three hours a day, so I think in a few more days she'll be there.  I'm hoping she can start next week.  I'm kind of nervous about the program because it sounds pretty intense, and I hope she will be strong enough for it.  I know it will be good for her but I also think she still needs lots of rest for her brain.  This learning to talk again is a hard hard thing and seems to take so much energy!  I know most the time she is so frustrated, but she really is getting better at letting us know what she's thinking.  Today she was trying to tell us something for the longest time-and the only word I could understand was hungry.  I thought she meant she was hungry, but we finally understood that she was worried about our pets at home being hungry.  I think she doesn't have much faith in her parents to take care of business.  But all is well and no animals have starved to death.  Points for us! Write more tonight.
