Hard work here we come!

Ok so its been awhile since I have updated. Progress is steady. Hannah was moved from the trauma floor to the Rehabilitation floor. She is now in room 1222 on the 12th floor. Last night she ate her first meal! Rehabilitation starts in earnest today and she will no longer be able to have visitors until after 4pm as she will be hard at work retraining and strengthening her muscles.
Sunday was a good day for Hannah with several firsts. She watched her first movie, and since her eyes seem to have been affected this is a good sign. She hasnt wanted to use her eyes that much yet.
We are hoping that it wont be long until Hannah is able to come home. There are some things though that you can do to help if you are interested. Hannah will need family members and close friends who are willing to come to the hospital (before 4) and help with her physical rehab so that there will be people who know how to help her when she comes home. If you are interested in doing that please call her mother at 801-792-2202 or call Vilate at 801-310-8232 and we can make sure that we get you in the schedule. IT would be really nice to have several people who would be available to help once she comes home.
Hannah is using her cell phone again and has also been on facebook and seen all of your comments. She has come a very long way in the two weeks since the accident!
