I think she knew.....but at this point she is still in a comatose state and not responding to much of anything I'm afraid. Every now and then she will smile at the mention of her name, but that's about all. A very sad situation. She never wanted to be in a home and I'm afraid that's what the future has in store for her, should she continue to live. In some ways, it's probably fortunate that she won't know where she is.
