Mom is doing better! I pick her up and take her to adult daycare 3 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)and she is not trying to leave there anymore so they are no longer trying to kick her out lol. Friday and Saturday she is at home with a home health person that works with her on her memory and Friday nights I get to spend with her just her and me (and brent and amelia sometimes too). :) Sunday and Monday she is at home with Johnny on his days off. He is great about working with her memory and having her exercise on these days as well in the evenings during the week. They say the exercise really helps with her brain function.
She is doing better as she is about 90% better physically and about 65% mentally. At this point she is kinda like an Alzheimer's person but a little different and better. The other evening Johnny was able to have a 15 minute conversation with her!!!! She has gotten better with her name and age and sometimes her address. She gets really confused still that she has children to watch (I guess that comes from watching amelia prior to all this happening) which is hard bc she becomes ADAMANT about it. She also will say things like "Oh angie said the funniest thing the other day" (to me) and I will say, "Mom, I am Angie". She will immediately say, "No, my daughter Angie". These things sting but I have to remember she has come a VERY long way from someone in a coma and on a ventilator just a year ago. She has a bit to go but we very strongly think she will just keep getting better and better and better. Thank you God for us still being able to have this phenomenal woman in our lives. Love you Mom!!
