Hello Everyone...
I have some catching up to do with all of you...
We didn't get you updated on Thursday....Jamie and Dad came to our house to watch the Illinois game when we got home from Galesburg...and I think we were all too tired to write anything once the game was over. There wasn't a whole lot to report on Thursday anyway...pretty much the same thing. Therapy and homework! Mom was released from physical therapy...she is doing so well in that area... which is such a blessing. Good strength and mobility!
The big news is that we will be bringing Mom home on Monday. She will be released from Bounceback but will still continue with outpatient speech and occupational therapy. We will go to the Azer clinic in Galesburg for the outpatient therapy...probably 3 times/week. We're still working on those details. Mom has been a little more emotional this week...for many reasons, I'm sure. One...is that I think she's just getting better and is emotionally starting to deal with the reality of what has happened to her a little more. While the goal is to get her home...and I know that's where she wants to be...I think she might be feeling a little overwhelmed. We're all a little anxious about how she will handle coming home and I'm concerned that she may be starting to worry about things that she feels she might not be able to do when she gets there. We just keep reassuring her that she is doing great and everything will be fine...and it will be! She still has a lot of recovering to do...and I know she feels things should be moving along faster. We all have seen great progress these last 2 weeks...but it's probably harder for her to realize how much better she is...and it just gets better and better every day! She's really worked hard! We're so proud of her. So...good news today...she's coming home soon!!! Pray for patience and continued healing!
We thank you all once again for all the cards and prayers! She really looks forward to getting those cards in the mail! Keep them coming... and now they can be sent home to 318 N.W. 2nd Ave. Galva, IL 61434. Hooray!
