O and X's

Saturday, October 11th: Mic is moving her right hand more frequently now. She is trying to get it to work herself. She will try and bite her fingers and also make the hand go through her hair with her left hand. I think it must feel like she has pins and needles in her arm.

On Wednesday, Mic was given a pen and a book to write in. Unfortunately Mic is not left handed, so she doesn't quite have the co-ordination to write correctly. Although, in saying this, we played noughts and crosses yesterday and she tried to make a mark with the pen. She really concentrated and as such was able to play the game properly, without assistance. It's just one more thing that's MJ. We used to play the game for ages when she was bored.

Last night, the police returned McAyla's shoes that she had on the day of the accident. I wanted to cry. I kept touching them, thinking about what she must have felt. There must have been that brief moment, a milisecond in time, when she knew what was happening. I pray that she never remembers it.

On a lighter note, have you noticed the funky socks that Mic is wearing? I promise, they get a lot brighter and funkier, lol!
