Just a quick note to let everyone know how we are doing. Mom has settled back into the Villages at Southern Hills and seems to be making some progress. She is awake and alert and is working on her physical therapy. She is also working hard with the speech therapist and had an assessment yesterday that sounded positive. The speech therapist said she seemed much stronger than just a couple of weeks ago. We are really holding out hope that this means she will be strong enough soon to pass a swallow test so that she can start eating and drinking again. She has been very desperate to have some tea and ice cream but so far has not been able to. My sister Nancy will be traveling back again this Saturday to help relieve our dad.
Mom has showed more interest in talking to people so I am hoping she feels up to calling me soon!
I will promise to keep this updated as much as I can. Please email me if you are anxious for updates or want to send along messages to Mom.
Thanks,
Jennifer & Family
