This morning when I arrived, she was eating her toast that she had buttered herself and had already eaten all of her cereal. She ate some eggs and yogurt too. The occupational therapist came by to see her and said she is doing well and in her rehabilitation facility they will be working with her on physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy when she gets in to one. We have Willis Knighton North as our first choice of places so we are crossing our fingers. The paperwork was sent over to them and they came and evaluated her. So, we will know something tomorrow.
For lunchtime she didn't want to eat much for me....in fact, only 3 bites in she tried to say she was full. I only got her to eat about half her food but, she did eat a good breakfast. She knew who I was and gave me a hug and knew who Johnny, Amelia and Brent were. She doesn't remember who she sees the day before or even the hour before a lot of times but she is getting better and better about knowing who people are. Baby steps. :)
When I came by this afternoon, she was making more sense and told me "I've had just the right amount of that" when I was giving her water lol. The physical therapist came by for her to sit off the side of the bed (which takes balance and she did well) lift each arm 10 times and kick each leg 10 times. She did each time and counted with them. She also stood up not only once but twice! Keep in mind she has been in a bed for almost 2 months. Way to go Mom! We told her how proud we were and she humbly said, "why"? and when we told her she said, "oh...that's nothing". :)
This evening for Johnny she ate a really good dinner using her left hand a little and when he mentioned that "you always eat with you right hand bc you are right handed" she put down her fork and ate with her right hand while patting/stroking his arm.
She is doing great!
