Sorry it's been a while, but I was traveling and everything was status quo. BUT, today was an amazing day! I wrote previously that Con/Mom and Dad/Dave have been playing daily cards and they recently had some ladies to their house from her bridge group to get her acclimated. Well, today Con/Mom went back to one of her daytime bridge groups today and WON! Whoooohooo! Don't ever underestimate her mind!
She's still working on the body day-by-day, though. She's taken a break altogether from the physically therapy and keeping the OT and speech. OT works on her upper body with concentration on the arm/hand. It is making small strides and she is even going to start an adaptive golf clinic soon. Now that she has even more time to watch golf I think it is really eating away at her so she's doing anything she can to get back into the swing of things (pun intended). She's going to ride around with Dad/Dave in their couples league this year and hopefully she'll back with the ladies (and me!) next year.
Her speech is quite fluid but with small pauses on remembering the right word. Still working on some names....we're still early into this recovery process and they say we can see changes through the first year after and sometimes even further out. So, we are optimistic and Con/Mom is even more so! I think her faith has a lot to do with it and all of the amazing prayer warriors she has!
I'll try to update weekly now or more if there is reason to share something significant. Thanks for checking in and don't forget to consider supporting the American Heart and Stroke Assoc. to support research and prevention! I will walk this May for Con/Mom, Kristy and Annette! I'm sure you know someone, too! If you want to join my team, the biggest community team in the area, it's called Heart Heroes!
Thanks so much and enjoy our Michigan weather! Not!
