Daniel is nana's therapy and doctor's office buddy! Here they are waiting for Kathie's cardiology appointment, last Friday.
Let the therapies continue!
She worked on word problems, balance and fine-motor skills. She has trouble reading clocks and she asked ot to help her with that issue. Eye-contact continues to require extra focus, I was chatting with her last night and noticed she was staring at the wall.
The plan is therapy 3 times a week for 6 weeks.
Kathie has been sleeping a lot, her brain needs that time to heal. She asked me to help her set-up a schedule so she can feel productive and find inner balance. We were told not to help her, I have to say it's hard to not just jump up to grab things for her. My inner teacher reminds me to sit still!
We found another walker so she can leave one upstairs and Chris and I don't have to drag it up and down. I think she was staying on one level to not be a bother. Now, we just stand near her on the stairs, no need to move the walker.
She's admitted to being more emotional, since her stroke. Her first day home, Friday, was a big challenge. She was used to knowing exactly where everything was ( lip balm, phone charger, etc) and was upset that she no longer knew where things were. So I bought her a cool, clear organizer. We slapped some stickers on it, found all her little treasures, and it now has a home in her room.
She was able to attend church with us yesterday. She was very emotional during the music portion. The songs really struck a cord ( aww, that was bad!) and she became very emotional. Praise God, she's alive!
Please continue to pray for her to regain her strength. A super special thanks to our amazing friends and neighbors who have stepped up to help us out! You. Rock.
