It is 6:47 pm. The day started out pretty good for Mary today as was told in my last entry. So far, the day has continued to be a day that will be remembered. This afternoon they had Mary in a recliner, which they have done before. She is more in an upright position, but reclined back. It just gives her a little different position. While my Mom and Regan were in setting with Mary, she became a little anxious and began really moving around. She was actually trying to get out of the chair. They called me in so we could try to calm her down a little bit. We did, but this time she remained more alert that she has yet. My Mom began talking to her and Mary was understanding what she was saying. She was working so hard to communicate to us. She was asked who I was while I was looking at her. She replied "My Husband". Obviously, my heart filled with joy. Mom asked her if she knew who Regan was, while she looked her in the eye. Mary replied "My baby girl". She also new Alex as "my son". These little steps, in my eyes were big ones. They helped us all realize that Mary is in there. She knew us. Then Mary asked for her Mommy. Within seconds Darlene was by her side and just like in real life, she calmed down. Mary and her Mom have always had a very special relationship filled with love and trust. She feels very safe with her. Mary's mom suggested that we always have a familiar face that she will see when she wakes up. Whatever time it may be. Mary and I are both fortunate to have wonderful, loving families. We are all in this together. As I am writing this, Morse and Darlene are in the room with their baby girl. Just there for her. Please keep praying. Thanks.
