This morning, Paige and her team cooked up the ingredients from yesterday's outing to Stop & Shop.  The men did actually join in, and Paige complimented Joe on his chili.

This afternoon, we met with Paige's six team leaders.  They reported on her improved physical and cognitive functions.  Her neuropsychologist pointed out that Paige was called the tigress when she arrived.  Paige loves that he is a West Point graduate who meditates three times a day and, as he says, has gone from warrior to peacemaker.  Paige has made the same transformation in two weeks.

Paige's injuries still require that we focus carefully on her physical safety and her cognitive recovery.  Her balance is good, and her memory is improving.  Paige must be very careful to avoid head injuries in the future, as research indicates that the risks escalate significantly with subsequent injuries.

Paige's recovery has been so strong that her team moved up her discharge from 17 February to 12 February and then, in a surprise, to tomorrow.  This has left her caseworker and her family scrambling to assemble an outpatient program of physical, occupational and speech therapy, tutoring, exercise, doctors and other activities.

It will be wonderful to have Paige at home.  Her brother Brooks saw her tonight for the first time since the intensive care unit.  He reported that she looked better than before the accident. We look forward to welcoming a few visitors at a time, with tea and cookies.
