Mom had another fall today but she is okay. She constantly forgets that she just can't get out of the wheelchair without help. That has got to be frustrating for her. She did great in physical and occupational therapy. In physical therapy they started off throwing the ball and catching....but that was short lived bc she can't think quickly enough to respond yet and she doesn't know when she is falling backwards...her balance isn't quite there yet. So they switched to side stepping and front and back stepping. She did really well! I mean, of course they will continue with the ball catching to quicken her reaction time...but a little a day i suppose. The occupational therapist said she was extremely cognitive today and very eager to work with them and do well. :)
Amelia and I came by there in the afternoon and she was BEAMING when she saw Amelia and wanted nothing more than to hug and kiss her. :) We walked her around for awhile and she is barely needing help at all....just balance really. Her and Johnny had a good evening working on the puzzle, going to get coffee (twice bc Mom gulped down the first cup buy the time they got back to the room lol), talking, then it was teeth brushing and bedtime. She seems to really enjoy the staff up there and so do we. Keep up the good work Mom.
