Home Again!!

Here we are almost a month since our last update! Vicki was discharged from Quillen Rehab last week and returned to Holly's house. She continues out-patient rehab at Quillen three times a week. She loves her therapists there. They are so good! I think her favorite therapy is pool therapy. She can walk in the pool with no assistance and I think she really enjoys that. She has progressed so much, but still has a lot to accomplish. She is still wheelchair bound, but continues to build strength in her legs. It's hard to predict when she might be able to stand/walk with a walker...and then stand/walk on her own. It's taking longer than we thought it would, but we are seeing improvements every day. She does her best to keep her spirits high, but is looking forward to returning home and getting back to the life she left six months ago. Aaron is working on remodeling their bathroom so that it will be wheelchair accessible and is also working on a few other things around the house. I've been taking her to mom's house on the days she doesn't have therapy. She enjoys that so much! I think is has really helped her to be in familiar surroundings again. Vicki has always loved going to mom's and just visiting. She's also gotten back to her crocheting and has started working on a new afghan.

She had a doctors appointment today and her doctor stressed working on her memory. As with her other injuries, her short-term memory loss is improving but she still has a long way to go.

Sorry we are so late in updating everyone! We'll try to do better and we'll also get some more pics posted. Please continue to pray for Vicki and her family. We love you all so much!
