Mom was just finishing up downstairs at the gym when I got there. Apparently she walked a whole lap with her walker and is getting stronger and stronger. YAY MOM! Her anxiety and agitation were less but unfortunately she is still talking to people not there.....calling out to Terri and Co mostly. After you tell her there is no one else in the room and have her look about the room to see if she sees anyone.....she then says they are under the bed and continues to call out to them loudly. This is what Johnny had to deal with much of the evening. She was doing it more than any other day with me also. Sigh, patience patience patience.....she will get there! She did eat a GREAT lunch and a GREAT dinner and knows she has to become healthy in order to come home. She lit up when I brought Amelia by this afternoon (even though she was calling her Josh lol). Also, and she did great with color recognition and brushing her teeth with the occupational therapist. Oh, and when I was wheeling her to her room for lunch she said, "are you going to eat too honey"? When I told her no, my Mom was very much her by responding, "Well, you need to eat baby, I don't want you having an empty tummy so comeon now...let's eat something". :) Her sweet little personality shows through more and more.
I miss you so much Mom and I know all of these people do too....we are all your cheerleaders.
