Mom is getting better by inches. Each day we rejoice over small victories, like moving her leg, holding her head up, talking more clearly. Being with her is joyful but tiring as we are spending so much time sitting. But as visitors come, it has been fun to talk and get to know them.
On Monday mom was tranferred to Montrose Hospital, to the physical therapy unit. It is a beautiful facility. There she receives 3 hours of therapy, physical, verbal and occupational. It looks like she will be there for two weeks. She is one of only three patients so gets plenty of attention. She has her own room, with a view. It is all quite lovely. Layne especially loves the cafeteria, where they serve an amazing amount of very good food. I think mom has a good chance of getting better there.
Layne and I flew home on Wednesday. I hated to leave mom. Maryanne will remain to be with her for the next two or so weeks, then we will change places. So far Maryanne reports that she is making progress in slow but pleasing steps.
