Mom will have arrived a week ago tomorrow. It sure goes by quickly - sorry to have been slow in providing updates...So here goes:
Mom is doing GREAT!
She is moving around a lot better and is increasing the amount of walking she is doing (with the walker) each day. She is also taking more steps unassisted small distances. She is being diligent about completing her "homework" each day and is anxious to start physical therapy. She has been to the grocery store, the mall, Barnes and Noble (she is able to read again!), had a massage and a pedicure, and is enjoying real food again!
She continues to work on her fine motor skills - small tasks like eating with utensils and playing scrabble (those tiles are small), and is even beginning to get on the computer. She made our fruit salad for Sunday Brunch and is talking about planting flowers and herbs in my empty pots outside.
And we're having great late summer weather - and even have a hurricane approaching the gulf, so Mom might get a real taste of what it is like to go through a big storm.
All in all, it's good news.

What welcome news! I am delighted all is working out well. Thank you for keeping us updated. I check everyday to learn about Julie. Keep up the good progress. Alice
Julia,
This is great news. You better keep working on those fine motor skills. I want to see them in action tomorrow night when we have dinner together and watch Obama's speech. You and I have to keep up the charge for Hillary in the Kimbel household.
