Plodding Along

Sunday and Monday were slow days for Kathy. Her rehabilitation people were concerned about her progress combined with her not feeling well. I went early today, to view if she was improving, especially after her weekend procedure. Her speech therapy was moving slowly but she is moving along with him! Her voice is still weak and she still cannot pass her swallow test. They are trying to get her to pass it in her room so when they take her to the hospital, her success rate should be high. I tried to get the therapist to realize she can talk if you get close up to hear and she needs to focus from her left side on his word association tests.

Occupational therapy and physical therapy both went better today than yesterday. In fact her occupational therapist remarked it was Kathy’s best day since she got to Sharp! She was answering basic questions and handling good all of the duties she was tested on. Physically, they have Kathy strapped into her wheel chair because she inadvertently tries to stand up. I guess this is progress.!! Again, Kathy is rolling along slowly but ever so solidly forward. At times I wonder if she will take 3 weeks or 3 months to get back to some form of normality. We love you and hurry up!!
