Update for 2nd Injection - Days 5 and 6

I just spoke to Dad. They are snowed in again at the cabin. The weather is just breaking, and he's hoping they can get out tomorrow afternoon.

Mom is holding her own this week. She's doing great with her normal drills. Dad is still working with her on our names, and she got on the phone a couple of times and said "Hi Triche!" with a prompt from Dad. She is also doing her writing again. She wrote some words when Dad would write them. But she also starting doing something different. When he wrote "Joyce" she wrote her maiden name instead of copying her first name. I don't know what that means, but it wasn't nonsense letters, and it was a logical thing to write. And no more accidents so far this week! (I can't help myself but report the facts).

Dad is also working on some other things now. He will ask "what is your birthday" and start with the month, and she will respond with the full month/day/year of her birthday. He'll do the same with their address, he'll start and she'll give the number and street for their address. It still looks like she is re-learning things as he works with her.

Fortunately, this week with the 2nd dose, whatever amount it was, she doesn't seem to be regressing any at the end of the week. That is good news.
