Hope this finds everyone healthy and happy. Lisa is doing well. Her short term memory is consistently improving in ever so small increments. There are times she has such clarity and remembers things that last week she couldn't. It just shows us that she is continuing to improve and that is a good thing! She is using new ways of coping with her deficits and ways of using the tools she is being taught in school to help her keep in touch with the world. She has a tendency to become depressed with her situation but it is always short lived. She continues to amaze us with her determination to improve. She loves to work out at Curves and gets such encouragement from the staff there. She is still her fisty self and a very picky eater. I think we have a handle on her metabolism problem. At least we know what the problem is and we're tackling it the best we can. Her attitude about school needs improvement but her goals remain the same. She looks forward to the day she can : Drive a car (of her own) Have a job, find the man of her dreams, have children, and go to a Keith Urban concert! not necessarily in that order. Please keep her in your prayers.....God Bless
