Today we discovered the power of Caitlin being able to point the index finger of her left hand. She can wag it side to side to say hello or good-bye! She can also be asked questions and point that finger if the answer is yes. We even had a little index finger war to replace the old thumb wars of days long ago!
Caitlin and I spent much of today together and after she had physical therapy we both fell asleep. The theory of stroke recovery is therapy followed by a rest. Watching her therapy exhausted me! I woke us both up with a big head thrown back startle and snort! Caitlin looked over at me with a typical Caitlin stare. I am still able to embarass her as every mother should embarrass her child even if they are an adult!
Thanks to Mal for searching Caitlin's my space for photos of her friends and family. Of course every photo reminds me of the richness of family and friends in Caitlin's life. I know she feels the strength from everyone of you! If you send her messages on this sight then I will be able to read them to her in the hospital! I know that will make her very, very happy!

My thoughts and prayers for Caitlin's full recovery are moving at warp speed! I believe that although these life challenges may be very difficult, there will be a fully realized positive outcome that will benefit all of us. Caitlin's life journey is singularly unique. She will overcome. Much love sent your way!
It starts with a finger! LOVE YOU! = )
I am so glad you are getting better. The other day I was looking at Jessica's wedding pictures and there you were looking so happy and beautiful, it made me smile to see you that way. I am thinking of you every day. I love you, Maria
You have been added to our prayer chain at church and all of my faithful friends have added you to their prayer chains worldwide. Prayers will be said for Caitlin from Florida, to Brazil and up to Massachusetts, too! I hope the power of prayer and the knowledge that Caitlin is being prayed for worldwide will give her (and Kathy) extra power for the road to wellness. Much love and all good positive vibes are sent your way from this day forward. With much love from your cousin, Monica Kellington, Florida
