Finding New Paths...

I arrived this morning to find Mom doing much better. I have observed her entire therapy team in action and it is quite something! The key now is for mom to rewire her brain, and the faster she does it, the better. All the things that Mom struggles to do are the things that we need to make her do. The brain will rewire, but it needs a constant workout! We are foucsed on relearning the very movements we all take for granted, like adjusting your eyes when your head moves, or a looking at an object without moving your head. However, her reading is improving and her writing is coming along, too. She even did a word search and a crossword puzzle. Mom went onto this blog this morning and got caught up on everyone's nice posts. Yes, and she got to the blog herself! I told her next time, she was going to have to post something.

It appears that she will be at Herrick at least through the 20th. But she needs to be able to not use her wheel chair for basic getting around the house before they will send her home. She still tires easily because everything takes work-forming words and sentences, holding on a conversation etc. But this too, will improve with time.
