I discovered a while back that Mary really liked Shirley Temple. I finally acted on this and bought her a few Shirley Temple DVDs. She can watch every one of the them twice through and never get bored with them. I'm about to pull my hair out, though. Those melodies get stuck in my head--argh!

Boring but Useful
This is very boring but maybe useful information. I have discovered that when I'm pulling Mary up to the head of her bed (that is, pulling on her, oh, what do they call it? Mattress protector from the hospital, so that she'll be high enough that when I put the head of the bed up, which is better for her digestive tract) it is better to have her bend both knees and push with both legs. In the hospital they always said to bend one leg, so I did that for years. It's hard enough pulling her up because I'm to the side, not directly behind, so any bit of help is greatly appreciated. Sometimes she can give me a big boost this way instead of a nominal one.
