One word yesterday, two today:
"Wiggle" (a Wiggles ad was on TV), and
"Barney," when her "I love you" Barney was singing to her.

She appears a little less glassy-eyed. Right now I have her sitting up,
propped on pillows, and an OT was working w/her, stretching her arms;
PT will work w/her, too, to get her moving around again.

She had a slight fever this morning, so just to be on the safe side,
they're culturing for infection. Immunology came by, and the doc's been
reviewing her blood counts/bloodwork over the last year, and he thinks
something might be up w/her white blood cells -- her lymphocytes,
specifically. They will be sending bloodwork to the lab, and we hope
to know something a little more conclusive within a few days.

Please pray that anything they find is of the minor variety --
Sam has enough on her plate.

Otherwise, we are just watching and waiting.

Thanks,

Jessica
