From the desk of Dr. Andersen:

Patient seems severely traumatized. Refuses to speak to anyone. Refuses to acknowledge the presence of anyone besides myself and one of the new, younger workers, and even then, she does not consistently recognize us. (I wonder why the young man gets a response from her. Perhaps because he was the first person who spoke to her when she awoke from her comatose state? Or could it be something else?)

I'm glad that she is responding, even if she isn't doing so to the extent that I'd like. We have time. I waited this long to see her wake up. (She has her mother's eyes.) I can wait a little longer to speak to her, to catch up on everything. To let her know what has happened in my life, what I've been doing to help her. I'd like to talk to her about this "WoNDeRLaND" she kept visiting in her dreams. I haven't had time to watch all of the tapes, but what I've seen so far astounds me. The visuals are amazing. She has quite the imagination.

She has yet to speak, as I mentioned, but I'm hoping she'll do so soon. She does scream on occasion, so I know she is capable of speaking. She just has to feel the need to do so, I suppose.
