So today we saw huge smiles from Miss Caitlin! Only for cute young male medical professionals...I even thought Caitlin was blushing tonight as Chris, her nurse, asked if he could listen to her heart...I think it was beating fast! She apparently had a similar experience with her PT today which I didn't see. Last night Caitlin couldn't sleep so I went back to the hospital at 1:30 in the morning to calm her down. We both fell asleep after I had been there 10 minutes and the rest of the night was fine. Thank goodness I can sleep just about anywhere with no problem. We slept in until 7:30...later than I ever do!
In addition to amazing smiles and laughter, Caitlin moved all the fingers on her left hand in a big wave good-bye to Anna, her daytime nurse. Teresa, the nursing assistant, caught the wave and started dancing and celebrating for Caitlin. It was a fun day with visitors throughout the day. Fatima, who Caitlin worked with at Sierra Eye Associates, has forwarded this blog on to her family in Mexico. Caitlin has met some of Fatima's family and was looking forward to going to visit them in Mexico and work on improving her Spanish! So prayers and positive energy are coming at Caitlin from every direction. It is just GREAT! Muchas Gracias!

Caitlin I am so glad to hear you are doing so well! Wish I could be there to laugh with you and see your smiling face. I think of you often throughout my day, and lift up a prayer for you. I love that the nurse danced when you waved goodbye to her...keep making huge steps like that, and who knows what you'll be able to get people to do :) We're all pulling for you. Keep working hard my friend! I love you.

Caitlin,
I've been thinking about you constantly and I'd like to come visit when you feel better. I'm glad to see you're making some progress, but I can't wait to have my Fuetschy-Fuetsch back. I'll keep praying everyday.
love,
Taylor
PS. You can expect an updated story of the lives of you, me, Brandy, and Mookie Herd (aka Bookie Scurd)
Caitlin,
I think it is time for a Home/Hospital teacher visit. That's right, you are still smarter than the teacher - nothing to teach from this end! This season I'm so grateful for....YOU! I love you Caitlin, for every little snicker, stare, and headshake when we interact.
Keep up the great work!
Love,
Ann (the dork you laugh at, not laugh with!)
