Anything before August is still there in her memory.
A little rusty,but there.

I'm convinced that for the time being,whatever information she's presently recieving,is being stored in her brain,we just have to discover how to access it.

Having lived with MS now for the past 26 years,I'm fully convinced that the human body has the capability to re route nerve signals.

Music has been a great rehabilitative tool for me,as I'm sure it will be for her.

We've also got Shalisa doing as many mind stimulating exercises as possible.
One avenue I'd like to research is smell or "ollifactory"sp? therapy.
I don't know if there's been any research done on it,but I know I've experienced certain smells triggering certain memories.

M.Ted,thanks,we're always open to suggestions.
We've jumped through a fair amount of thr appropriate "hoops" so far,& it looks like we're starting to get a handle on the insurance thing.
But as they say,the wheels of progress do move slowly.
