How's mom?
I know it is on many of your hearts and minds because you ask us.
Mom continues to make gradual progress.
She is “up” to walking with her walker now - without anyone holding on to her.
We did have a visit from the physical therapist this past week and while he gave us some tips, he was astonished at her progress - without an official therapist - just concerned people (and a lot of you have given advice - much of which has been very helpful).
We are now working on building stamina and strength and length of time she can be up - also leg strength.
She can walk to the bathroom with her walker - so we are that much closer to using the bathroom and that will be a happy day for all of us! :) She spent a couple of hours up from the bed today - on top of a ride this morning in the van to look at some road construction going on in our area. I had wanted to see it, and figured that mom hadn’t seen it either so my brother, Jon, and I took her there to check it out. That road trip took about an hour.
She can use her little foot bicycle and cycle for a while and do various other exercises. We need to continue to work on endurance and strength, but she is gaining rapidly now, in strength and in ability in such things like sitting up in bed which isn’t any easy task on an air mattress like she has!
Overall, we are happy with how she has done. Thank you for caring and those of you who are praying - we do appreciate it very much.
Have a great day wherever you are reading this! Stay safe!
