1:00 EDT - CLEAR HEADED AND HUNGRY

The old Kelly is returning. I could see the wheels in her mind turning this morning. She woke up going through lists of things that needed to be done, planning, and organizing her bedside tray. She has been awake all day today, with no catnaps and no dozing off. So, the medications must be wearing off. She is also in much less pain today. She was actually excited about lunch arriving. I have a feeling I will soon lose control on the updates of the blog....

The therapist came around today and gave us all a little training on how to develop Kelly's neck muscles. The doctors are likely to keep us here one more night. We will be moving to the variety house tomorrow. Looks like we may be heading back to OKC on Friday or Saturday depending on how much Kelly progresses.

Wonderful news. I know you all will be so glad to be home. And Charlie- Kelly will have a lot of work to do to keep up with your standard of excellence in blog-writing so tell her not to take it over until she is ready! I'm really thankful that the pain is going away. Kelly, just remember you've come a long way but you lose muscles you probably never even knew you used while you were laying around so please be patient. We are all thrilled with the progress you are making. Love, Aunt Lisa

Great news! I have been praying for Kelly since I met Marilyn at the hospital on 9/11. Kelly - much love to you from a New Yorker!
