Vera read Britney a book today and she started moving her arms a lot. Vera was really excited. I told her that she could help wake Britney up if she talked to her and read to her. She has been looking at us a lot more today. She has been doing great without the ventilator during the day and being back on it at night to rest. Vera had a great birthday. We went to a swimming party, and she opened her presents from family in the morning. She put a barbie wig on Anna and Anna liked it.
