Cecily's update!

Here is the latest update on Sarah and Shannon's friend Cecily, posted by her mom, Nancy today:

Ceci on the 8th
Posted 12 hours ago
Cecily had a few days and nights mixed up and was quite agitated for a good 48 hours on and off. However, she is back on track and is having much more alert time that is peaceful, where she listens closely, looks at books and pictures and communicates as best she can. The "NO" continues at appropriate times and now she will nod her head "YES". Miss Queen, Ceci's 1st and 2nd grade teacher, observed this nod first two nights ago when she spent a night with Ceci. I was so excited this morning to get a nod, too! Ceci very much enjoys listening to her class mates and herself read the books on tape that they did last year for the kindergarten class.
Kidneys are going full force. The dialysis tube was removed. By early next week she will be attempting to eat through her mouth. Physical therapy comes twice a day. She is weak after five weeks in a hospital bed, but make progress daily. We are visiting rehab places and hope to be in the right one for Ceci and our family within a week.
xxoo Nancy
