Evening, May 6

(e-mail from B. Parady)

Spent the whole day with Sabina today.

She does have swelling on the side of herhead which seemed better than yesterday.

She seemed to track with eyes and was emotionally responsive. Got a lot face time with her. Really enjoyed the time. We like the Helen Hayes staff and patient visitors. One of the other visitors came by to introduce her son who was hit by a drunk driver in Mexico at 80 mph. He is now walking around.

We spent the day moving her limbs. We enjoyed being with her.

I guess we feel somewhat optimistic about her and getting to recovery.

At present we have no clue as to what will happen tomorrow. The goal of the Columbia docs is to do surgery for the skull prosthesis, and perhaps do a shunt, to be determined.

All of this depends on availability of a bed which may or may not happen. We are prepared to stay at the Crowne Plaza at Ft Lee if need be, or we return.

So our prayers continue for her restoration on the skull, her rehabilitation, and good spirits and strength.
