Update Wednesday August 5th

My sister and parents were able to visit Isabella today. Isabella seemed very good today. She played Pretty Pretty Princess (a board game) with her sisters after her therapy sessions and is seeming more like Isabella each day. She was able to tell my parents what she had eaten for lunch, so that was great short term recall. Jenny did a lot of prompting today to help her remember to be polite and to know how to act. She was grabbing things from the girls, but would correct herself when asked. Aleacia and Sophia both cried when they left the hospital because they had to say goodbye to their Daddy. They are feeling the emotional strain of the situation as well as young as they are.
Her release date is September 2nd. However, they will not release her until she is ready and they are ready to come home. They will have family meetings, school teacher meetings, etc. before the time to come home arrives. School begins in a few weeks for Aleacia.
Jenny's mouth is really sore. She is still hurting so bad and is hating the rubber bands. She still has the screws in her mouth (this is what she attaches the rubber bands to). When the rubber bands fall out, it hurts a lot to get it back in. She had to tighten one of the screws herself with her hand! She also found a tooth in the back of her mouth that is broken. The teeth that are loose in her mouth will supposedly tighten up. This is apparently normal for the trauma.
There is no date scheduled for her CAT scan as far as I know.
It seems like the story is slowing down, with developments coming fewer and farther between. I am so thankful for how God has carried these two and for how He is weaving their story. I am still and ever shall be so humbled by His grace, mercy, and love. Thank you for praying for the Laird family. Please continue to pray on their behalf.
