Day 161 - Long Time, No Halo

It is officially 23 weeks since the accident and this is a long weekend. Memorial Day came early this year. Tomorrow we honor those that have given of themselves so that our way of life may be preserved.

The halo has been off 1 day longer than it was on, 80 days on, 81 days off. With that, she is just about ready to start driving herself. She's been making short trips with me to the grocery, to PT and the like. Backing up is hard still but getting better. She turns her head better than a month ago but not quite to pre-accident levels.

Tessa's last day of school is Thursday and she thinks she will be driving herself by next Friday. She knows I'll take her if she needs it. She doesn't want to be a burden but I don't mind.
