I know my posts get more spread out but as I was explaining to a friend of Mom's, her progress is slow so taken day by day, it is hard to see the improvement. But over the course of a couple of weeks, I am happy to report that she has definitely gained strength and is more motivated to get better. My brother was there a week ago and pushed her to practice standing up and sitting down and walking and they are now making her walk to and from her PT every day (with a walker). We are hoping to hear something about a new swallow test soon but I do know that the speech therapist is giving her soft foods in very small quantities and she snagged a couple of bites from my sister's sno cone recently! She has called me a couple of times from her phone and definitely sounds more like herself every day but still a little croaky.
I will be there soon and hope to help my dad figure out what the next logical step is and where we can go, hopefully home with some in-house care help. I will try and keep everyone updated as we hear anything.
Thank you,
Jennifer & Family
