Anna Recognizes Mommy

I held Britney's hand and talked to her for a few minutes before lunch today. Right away, she swallowed and then blinked a few times during my short visit! This was the first I had seen a response from her myself! Mom and I brought Anna in with us. She was squirmy and distracted by all the machines in the room at first. Then she noticed Britney in the bed, stopped wiggling, and just stared intensely at Britney's face. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she got an enormous smile on her face. I think she recognized her mommy!

    It was nice to come down and play with the kids and good to meet so many of your families members. I am sure that all of Britney's support is helping her to respond so quickly.
