Tuesday update

Heidi is doing so good. She has been able to breathe on her own now (the tracheotomy is still there though). She is doing really well with her physical therapy.

She is still in the ICU and has a lot of recovery to do still, the doctor told us that she would probably be in ICU for 2-3 weeks still.

She became a little more aware of her surroundings today, she wrote on a white board "Am I dreaming", and then started to cry, we believe that she is just beginning to understand the magnitude of her injury.

Today during physical therapy she saw herself in a mirror (for the first time) she just looked at herself with short hair, and just reached up and touched her hair.

She still has a long way to go, but has already come so far. We are so proud and grateful for the miracles and progress that she has made.
