She remembers Dr Zabel???

3:30 pm. Steph finally has her breathing tube out! She is trying very hard to be patient. She has a million visitors in and out throughout the day. I'm sure she was frustrated trying to communicate with people who sometimes had no idea what she was trying to say. The tube is out. She is moving her right side well and has some movement on her left. Her first sentence to me today was "I think I made Dr Zabel S*** his shorts" I reassured her that he had probably had extra shorts in his call room. LOL. She sounds like my Stephi! She is asking about Family Leave and real life stuff. I will get that all in order for her on Monday AM. She whispers to us appropriately and she knows who everyone is - even her co-workers. Thank God for her progress! Keep fighting Steph!
