I visited Martha after work. There's a parking garage on the Main St side of St Mary's, which connects to the hospital via an elevated walkway. Parking is free. When you walk into St Mary's, head for the security office. They'll give you a pass. You don't need to sign in.
Martha has classes between 9 and 2 daily, with a break for lunch. Not sure yet if that extends into the weekend. As you can imagine, the work really tires her out. But they've already had her singing the alphabet song, Happy Birthday, and something with numbers.
So far, in addition to "yes," Martha's been heard to clearly say: "No, Listen!" "Fabulous!" "Love you" "So ..." (as if launching into a story) "Miracle" and "Sh$!" I knew there'd be a four-letter word in there somewhere.
We got two of Martha's musical birthday cards out tonight. She's appreciating them more now that she's more aware of what's going on. She's able to mouth the words and bop along to "I Will Survive." It's quite a sight. Isn't it amazing what's stored in our brains? Disco!
