A new risk has entered our lives. My kind mother bought Elizabeth 10 raffle tickets for the Neuro Rehab Christmas raffle. The problem is that one of the prizes is a massive life size teddy bear. We previously acquired a stake in the Brain Injury raffle with a risk of a soppy soft toy dog. This is more like Russian Roulette, than a Christmas raffle.
Today is Joanna's twentieth birthday. Liz has been singing all day long. I think she is enjoying the excuse to work on her voice. Also today, for the first time since the 21st of September, Liz started eating pureed meals. This evening her aunt Ruth fed her a chicken pie, carrots and mash.
Elizabeth gave Joanna a card game for her birthday called 'Cheating Moths'. The strap line is 'where cheats prosper'. It's not all innocents on the ward.
Cousin Sarah drove down from Durham, and Ruth came up from Bedford. We had quite a party in NRU. The other patients were patient when we played catch with Elizabeth's speech therapy ball.
