And it is doubly hard for her because she just got married before Rhyan left for Afganistan.Katie lives in a cosey house near Fort Brag airbase with her two dogs.She has a Lab mix and a germane sheppard to keep her company during the day. I

How bad is your daughter?

At 1:53pm on September 8, 2009, Elizabeth said…: It takes such a long time to recover.. I have every confidence that your daughter will walk and talk again..it just takes time. Cathy (here on SP) had 'e' when she was 11 and now is married with children/grandchildren...there are others with similar stories. There will probably always be a few problems such a short term memory loss, fatigue, headaches,...but she'll do better with therapy. How old is she?
Stephen is doing okay...he takes his meds, and deals with one day at a time. The fatigue and pain (nerve pain) is the worse for him..plus heat drains him and it's been hot here. I will be praying for you and your daughter..but DON'T GIVE UP...she will get better..

At 10:18am on August 21, 2009, CR said…: Hi,I was hospitalized for close to one year with E but I also had therapy to teach me things like walking social activities and I would imagine hygiene.I had very long hair while I was in the hospital and my father had it cut really short because of the thrashing of my head and I would not let people comb my hair so it was knotted .The nurves in my head were very sensitive as in my whole body ,to this day I don't like to be touched to much. I was crippled for awhile , couldn't be that long because I know I was walking when I was discharged but still needed help steading my body and the weakness in my legs, but at my fathers house there was a swimming pool up the street and I spent countless hours at the pool swimming,little did I know how it was helping me by straightening my legs and all along all I could think of was the boy's at the pool. I would go for long walks,sometimes with my father. I would think that your daughter can walk but it will take a lot from you to work with her. I would have cramps in my right leg and remember my father rubbing the cramp out of my leg. Dad would take me to the big mall in ElPaso Texas and we would walk and walk looking in store windows.So I think that what ever it takes to get your girl walking do it.I can tell she is precious already.

At 9:40am on August 21, 2009, CR said…: Hi,what is it like where you live?Knowing someone before from another country even the Phillipines I still don't know what it looks like where you live. I saw pictures of My friend Anna and San lived I still don't know what it looks like where you live.

At 6:42pm on August 18, 2009, CR said…: Hello Anne it is nice to meet you, I knew a woman from the Phillippines when I lived in England on the air base Alconbury. We became friends.Anna would always be cooking up a storm with other woman from the block who were also Philippine. I was alway's testing the food they made,very good. I lost contact with her when we moved back to the states.
You say that you are a mother of a survivor, is this your daughter or son? I had E when I was ii years old, I am now 50 years old, so life goes on. I have two wonderful children a son who is 25 years old and a daughter who is 21 years old.My son has 4 children and my daughter just got married.

At 8:06pm on August 13, 2009, Daniel said…: Hi Mary Anne, it's very nice to meet you - apologies for not having done so sooner. I look forwards to speaking with you further in the future and I'd love to see some photos of the Phillipines if you have any to post. Keep in touch.
