Tracheotomy Removed

Heidi got her tracheotomy out and she is doing really well. She is beginning to make sounds and can talk a little bit, though the words are very raspy and quiet.

Bishop Sevy gave her another blessing, in it he said, angels are with her...before she came to earth she knew that she would have to go through this trial. And that she will be a blessing to many people because of what she is going through and that she needs to be patient.

With the tracheotomy out she can eat more, she really likes the pudding, and she is getting stronger, she can sit up straighter.

She is still doing her therapy (physical, occupational, and speech), they are still working on getting her to swallow better.

She is gaining a better understanding of why she is in the hospital, and she is very determined to get better.

When Craig (Heidi's dad) and Aubrey (Heidi's sister) came in tonight to visit she shed a tear she was so happy to see them.

Sister Sevy came and brought her some Valentine's Day balloons, and a nice letter. Jennifer (Heidi's mom) wants the letter posted, it will be posted later.
The letter talks about everything that has happened the last couple of weeks and all the many blessing and miracles that have happened to Heidi.

Brenda Jamison (Craig's second cousin) has come and given Heidi foot massages every day - Jennifer says Heidi loves it and is so grateful that Brenda comes and helps out.
