Mom is continuing to improve daily! She is much more independent than she was a week ago. Jamie said that she was very alert this morning, and responded well to tasks such as pointing to objects in the room and identifying people in one of her photo albums. Diana worked with some word associations and Mom was successful at those. Since she was doing so well, we all bombarded her with vocabulary-building and thinking-skills activities all day. We usually give her a break from those activities between supper and bedtime, but not tonight! Mom seems to realize that the constant questions are helping her condition, and we are glad to report that she is always upbeat and we have seen little frustration. Near the end of the evening, after an intense day of therapy from her family, she laughed mightily at this knock-knock joke.
Jamie: "Knock, Knock"
Mom: "Who's there?"
Jamie: "Orange"
Mom: "Orange who?"
Jamie "Orange you glad we're not staying all night?"
Glad to hear things are going so well! Everyone keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteAnd stay warm! St. Louis got 4-5 inches of snow last night, and it's dropping down to 2 degrees tonight! Eek.
