Andrea update

Well it appears that Mom will have some good news to report in her next note. Andrea was able to unconsciously scratch her chin. She was so unconscious of the fact that she actually denied she'd done it, although Mike witnessed it. She also has been able to consciously flex the muscles in her legs. She can't make her legs move but she's able to make the muscles kind of "dance." So that's all good! The speech therapist is working with her on her swallowing; she is improving but the gastric tube still ensures she is getting the nutrition that she needs. She still cannot support her own weight in a sitting position but if given a little support, she can hold her head up. Hope is building! The Cytoxen seems to be working (She had another dose last Thursday at OHSU). I'll try to post Mom's note when she gets home and sends one.

Help with a recipe

I need a good butterscotch cookie recipe. It's going to be a bribe reward for the nice IT guy who agreed to look at my laptop for free.
