Happy Halloween!
Mom seems to be feeling good today. She just finished a GREAT therapy session where she got to try something new. Using a step! Who knew that her old step aerobics step would come in handy… The therapist put it on the ground next to the counter where she could hold on and mom was able to do 5 step ups! She had lots of support to help with her balance but the legs were all her. It’s wonderful that the therapist is able to continue adding different exercises for her to try. Because she’s able to do that, it means that she is still progressing. Once we run out of things to add to her routine, they will talk about discharging her from the program. The therapist believes that we’ll be able to keep her at-home therapy going for awhile since she’s not stuck in the current routine but has been able to move to harder skills.
Here’s a video of her walking today with her therapist. The quality of her steps have been getting so much better!
Mom received a package from her friends yesterday. I didn’t get the necklace on her before I took the picture, but the hat is adorable. Thank you Wendy and Susan!
