Still working hard....

This is Mom working hard in UE group.
Just sitting outside taking a break.
Working hard on standing with her OT Brian.
Her PT Penny and tech Bev.
This is what she walks in.....the super duper wedgie machine!! hahaha Really it's called the ARJO.

Sorry for not updating sooner. Everything is just so hectic all the time it seems! Mom is doing really well in rehab. They have extended her time to July 9 to try to help her gain as much strength before returning home. Her spirits are much better and she is really enjoying her therapy. We have been blessed with wonderful therapists at Quillen. They really have given Mom excellent care. Our main obstacle at this point is her strength. Her legs still aren't strong enough to hold her up, but we are getting there. She stays up in a wheelchair all day and is able to do so much more than when we first started. And her mind has improved a lot. Her memory is doing so much better. We actually get to bring her home on pass this Friday for a few hours to see what barriers there might be for when she comes home. It will be great having her in a car for the first time in months! We are also going to take her by her house that she hasn't seen in 5 months!!! Anyways, we continue to be so grateful for everything and everyone that has blessed our lives these past few months. We know we wouldn't be where we are without everyone's care, concern, and prayers. There will never be a way for us to repay everyone, so THANK YOU!!!

Update



Mom continues to make progress. She was able to walk (heavily assisted in a harness) earlier this week. As you can see she loves having her grandkids around.
