BEST DAY YET!!

I was hardly prepared for what I saw when I came into Lauren's room. She looked right at me, smiled, and said, "Hi, Nathan."
She was been talking all day long. Yesterday, all she said was, "Hi."
She looks great. Sometimes, she hears something and repeats it. Jessica called Dad, and he told Lauren to talk to her. Lauren said, "Hi," and Jessica said, "Oh my God!" Then Lauren started saying, "Oh my God."
She isn't just parroting what she hears. She started saying "Thank you" on her own. No one said that to her.
Such a huge difference in a single day! We are all incredibly happy right now!
