Alyson was up early today and had breakfast. She had bacon, eggs and grits. And she had some coffee.

Manny spent the night here at the hospital with her.

Before Pauline and I got here, she had already been for a walk down the hallway. This was a big step.

Alyson was talking this morning, and was saying that she did not remember anything about yesterday. She did not remember Pop Pop or Grandma being here.

Roger, Cindy, and Katie Brunk stopped by on their way up to Georgia. Katie had a big blue and green blanket (Alyees wedding colors) that she had made for her. And she had a big green stuffed frog for Alyee.

With the Brunks in the room, Alyee said that she liked to hold her breath to see the numbers go up on the monitor next to her.

Pop and Grandma Bailey had another visit with her as well.

The hospital gave her a menu for her to select what she would like for lunch and supper.

For lunch she wanted pizza and french fries with a Sprite.

For supper she wanted the mac n cheese and mashed potatoes.

She received a gift from a teacher friend of Paulines of a Webekins Dog and a card.

She has been up to use the bathroom several time this morning. The pizza arrived and she ate very little of it, and a few fries. She drank down the bottle of Sprite.

She said that this is the worst head ache she has ever had, and if it didn't hurt so much, so would be running up and down these halls.

She has a male nurse today, and he loves to hear her laugh and joke.

She has a low grade fever right now, and her neck is still sore.

Everyday she sees what the date is and says "I missed Griffins Birthday". It was 4 years ago Sunday that we adopted him. She just wants to see her Griffin.
