Update from Sandra Bramhall
Some of you may have already heard some of this, but I did not want to leave anyone out.  Yesterday, Rebecca grabbed Shelby`s cell phone and dialed Cody`s number.  When his voice mail answered she hung up and smiled.  She remembered the whole number on her own.  Shelby was talking to her about Cody and Kyler being at a roping and she started really smiling BIG!!!!  She is still not talking or walking but this could come at any time.  Shelby also said she was showing Rebecca all of her text messages and she acted like she was going to text Cody and then she closed the phone.  Things are not happening as fast as her parents would like, so they are still having rollercoaster emotion changes.  Rebecca`s doctors are happy with her progress.  Her mom says she responds more to her friends.  She shows more improvement when Shelby and Reanne are in the room with her.  She ate a little applesauce and drank some milk shake.  She is still in ICU, and will remain there until her bed is needed.  They have talked about moving her into a room, but as of last night, have not done that.  On May 17, there will be a benefit roping for her in Athens.  Since we have a TJ that day, maybe we can pass the hat, or have a jar for donations since we can not attend.        DeleteReplyForwardSpamMove...

That's wonderful news.  Continued prayers for her recovery.  (((((((HUGS))))))))

Update From Sandra:
Sorry I have not sent out update on Rebecca until now.  I have been in jury duty for 2 days.  They are suppose to move her to Baylor Rehab today.  They have gotten her up a couple of times, and helped her walk.  She still is not talking, but has been writing notes and texting.  Her doctors are still happy with her progress.  They are expecting a full recovery.  It is just going to be a slow process.  They are guessing she will be in rehab for 3 or 4 weeks.  I am not real sure who`s guess that is.    At first her spelling was a little off, but now it nearly regular.(not many kids nowadays have good spelling anyway)   She also still has a great sense of humor.  She smiles all the time.  Kim said her mom told her why she was in the hospital and she just shook her head yes.  Please continue to pray for her recovery and patience for her family and friends.

Subject: Rebecca [Scanned]
    We went to see Rebecca last night.  Shelby asked her to answer her instead of nodding her head and she whispered her answer.  She started talking just like that.  Everything is in a soft whisper.  She is improving everyday.  Last night she was so much like her old self.  She stills has a long way to go, but praise God, she is on her way to a full recovery.  Her personality seemed a little more outgoing than she used to be.  She is always sooooo glad to see her friends.  She wrote on a piece of paper that she can not wait to go home and ride her horse.  All she knows is that she was in an accident.  She will do anything Shelby tells her to do.  She wanted to put her make-up on and fix her hair last night because we were all coming to see her.  Her parents have still not gone back to work and will hardly leave her room.  It was so good to see how much she has improved in a week.

It has been a while since I posted, Rebecca is doing good improving every day, she was at a TJRA rodeo a couple weeks ago, just to watch. Keep her in your prayers.
