A New Phase: Therapy Break

Con/Mom is doing well. All therapies are breaking now and she has the summer to work on her own (with her #1 buddy, of course) and increase strength and energy.  We had two weeks of chair yoga, too!  Challenging with Jack, but we may get her back in my studio very soon! :)

Dave/Dad has been working more and Con/Mom is enjoying some time on her own, with some visitors, too.  They are getting used to a new routine and trying to adjust to their new way of life, for the moment.  We're getting Con/Mom out more and she even came to the hospital with Dad/Dave to visit my father-in-law who was in hospice on Mother's Day.  We held hands for a prayer circle with the Chaplin and he passed away the next day. :(  Funeral is this Saturday and they'll be there for that, too!  We were able to get in a family brunch later that day, too!

Today, we are all lunching so she can catch up with my husband's sons who are in for the funeral.  No Heart Walk this year since it is this Saturday, but many thanks again for those who donated.  Maybe Con/Mom will join us next year!

She still has yet to tackle the golf course and/or putting green, but we're waiting for good weather.  I think just being there will lift her spirits and keep that positive attitude going!

Sue has Monday's off now so between the two of us we're getting in some nice time with our Mom. We've always been close, but this is a different kind of close that is hard to explain.  She's unloading the dishwasher (left handed) at home as well as doing laundry so that gives her a few things to do during the day.  No bridge this week, but I'm sure they'll be more soon!  She's a card shark by nature!

Hope you are all doing well.  Prayers continue and we will keep you posted on any new news....
