Wow \u2013 can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been so long since the last update! Life has been a bit crazy on my end\u2026 All good, just very hectic!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been able to see mom just about everyday with the exception of race day (Samantha is on the crew team for her HS). She\u2019s continuing to do well. I think she gets pretty bored there \u2013 she has yet to participate in any activities, however she is working hard in her therapy sessions.<\/p>\n
I believe as of today she\u2019s officially released from her speech therapy sessions. She hasn\u2019t had any issues with eating, drinking, or memory and some even say that they are understanding her speech better!<\/p>\n
Mom has been doing more standing in PT. Our focus is on getting her to be able to stand and pivot more easily. As soon as she\u2019s able to do that with minimal assistance (really just someone guiding her in the pivot), she\u2019ll be allowed back into Morningside. I found out the other day that she wheeled herself down the hall toward the dining room! I\u2019m not sure if she made it all the way there since it\u2019s a good distance, but she apparently is working on that when she has enough energy. Her CNA is amazing and encourages her to do as much as she can and actually gets angry with the others who don\u2019t encourage her to get up. Mom was so active \u2013 she really needs to have someone there to keep her on her toes and not find an excuse to be lazy. She needs to be out of that bed as much as possible.<\/p>\n
At this point we really don\u2019t have a clear picture on when she\u2019ll be discharged from Heritage, but I\u2019m not in a rush. I want her to get as strong as possible since I know that in the long run that is what will be best for her. If I don\u2019t post for awhile, just remember that \u201cno news is good news\u201d. We do appreciate the cards and messages \u2013 I make sure to pass those on when I see her. <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
