Just a short post to let you all know Mom continues to show improvement! She has overcome so many obstacles in just a month! Changes from day to day are harder to see now since she's doing so well...so I probably won't be posting quite as often as before. (That's a good thing!!)
There is still work to be done and we feel fortunate to have some really good resources about Aphasia...as well as a very good speech therapist at Azer. Also, Dick and Lynn Alderman were here this week and Lynn (another speech expert) had some ideas and resources for mom too. Thanks Lynn...(and we're kind of hoping you can continue to be our "home speech therapist" for awhile if/when it works for you!"
Mom is writing in a daily journal, and has written and sent some thank you's on her own which is wonderful! She hasn't done much on her laptop yet, however, when I went over this morning...to my surprise...she was on her computer doing some online bill paying! I helped her a little...but she knew how to do it! And fortunately, Di and I, who had to figure out her system and pay some bills in January, didn't mess things up too much! Ha! She's adjusted to being home very well and we are just amazed at the daily things she is able to do when we think that only 3 weeks ago, she could hardly string any words together to carry on a small conversation. As I've said before...the brain is an amazing thing...it's fascinating.
She's enjoyed her visitors...and thank you, thank you for all of the food and meals that have been provided since Mom came home. It's so nice for me to not have to worry about their meals and it gives me more time to work on homework with mom too.
God Bless all of you who have helped us in so many ways this past month. We'll keep pushing on and continue to pray for a full recovery.
