		Rebecca's local doctor even diagnosed Rebecca as now "semi-comatose."

		Rebecca seems more and more to be making (conscious??) choices as to what sort of person she likes, to whom she may show more, and those not yet on her "A" list.
		Rebecca was only on the ventilator for the two weeks immediately following the accident. When she was taken off, she consistently breathed on her own and never had to be put back on the vent. On Christmas Eve she was doing well enough to have the trach tube removed permanently.
