Haleigh is showing signs of communicating.
Murphy and Avrett did not say how the girl signaled her answers, but they did say that it was not verbal.
DSS, Haleigh's guardian, has said little publicly about the girl's condition in recent weeks, except to say that the girl is apparently emerging from what was initially described by her physicians as a vegetative state with no hope for recovery.

Great understatement from Boston Globe: Most children involved with DSS do not get this amount of attention.
This is the standard news story for the day on Haleigh's mom.
BROCKTON -- Lawyers for the biological mother of an 11-year-old girl still struggling for life months after allegedly being severely beaten by her adoptive parents said yesterday they will ask a court for more input on the girl’s medical care.
Attorneys for the birth mother, Allison Avrett, said at a news conference that they planned to file a motion in Hampden Juvenile Court within "days" that also asks for access to Haleigh Poutre’s medical records.

Thanks for reminding me to contact my TV provider. We have to have dish or cable in our area, because we cannot receive regular TV signals. BF searched through the entire menu and could not find "wealth tv". He would also like to watch this program.
If Haleigh is a vegetable, then I'm a teatotaller. Haleigh is a young child, and there are proven statistics about young children being able to get past head trauma, among other ailments, and get most functions back to normal. Their bodies are still growing.
