Hi all....we spent the weekend with mom in Galesburg. On Saturday afternoon a private room opened up and mom was moved to it on a different wing. It's much more spacious and she doesn't have a roommate. She had a wonderful retired school teacher from Alexis as in her first room,(Carol) but it was so cramped when we were there spending time with mom.
We continued to work with mom on her speech this weekend. The facility didn't do any speech with her on Saturday which we need to check into as she is supposed to have it 6 days a week.
Each day there are baby steps....yesterday on Sunday we had her doing associations and she was spitting them right out: Jamie and ___, David and ____, Diana and _____, Salt and ____, Hot and _____, etc... She was also reading her cards and some children's books we brought from home.
We are looking forward to the new week and obtaining some more concrete information from the Bounceback facility as far as therapy and other things. We have already found it is like being in the hospital.....you MUST be your own advocate and stay on top of things or it's up for grabs as far as what is and isn't done.
A HUGE thank you to Tom and Laura Ramseyer for helping transport Emily from the Chicago area last night to Galesburg. Emily had been at a church retreat in IN for the weekend, and had not seen grandma yet. We didn't feel comfortable with Emily making that drive as we still consider her a "new" driver. A huge help and so appreciated! ")
Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers.......mom is working hard!
