Abby update - January 29
Another day--another indulgent meal with good friends...We enjoyed barbecue and good music this evening with the Scotts and Zellers, new friends that God brought to Abby and to us through the accident. The Salt Lick barbecue was great, but, in my mind, the highlight of the evening was the musical performance by the Scotts' young son and daughter (well, she mostly just smiled...). Abby's sociable nature shows itself at times like these--she's quite comfortable with guests here and always finds something to tell them about (usually concerning horses or dogs!).
Our day of therapy went well. Speaking of horses, Abby's OT loves to set up real-life simulations, such as carrying buckets full of stuff over outdoor terrain--she'll truly be ready to have her horse again soon! The PT, like I, was noting how much progress Abby has made physically in the past week, and, though we're eager to see faster improvement in the memory and cognitive area, we do see some good steps forward--Abby's much better at keeping track of days and dates, at remembering some events of the day (she remembered that her good friend Taylor stopped by today), and tonight she read to me instead of vice-versa. We're happy to report that the later commute to therapy today went very well--Now I'm just sorry for all those other people who actually try to drive in Austin between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m....
Please just continue to pray that those improvements continue to come--we know God is working through all of you...
Love,
Abby's family

So if caring for one horse would be good therapy think of how theraputic 4 horses would be! No just kidding Abby I won't make you take them all. Cheyenne will be happy to see Abby I'm sure whenever Abby feels ready for her. She is certainly getting a lot of exercise with her 3 "friends". The other horses might be the boss at feeding time but she definitely is the horse that leads them around the pasture and chooses where they will graze. She is also the one that thinks she can eat out of the truck while she trots as I try to drive to the corral in the pasture. She is pretty talented despite my trying to discourage that behaviour. By the way Abby some day you need to teach me how to stand on one foot. I'm no good at that. proprioception is not in my physical vocabulary.
