Hello readers, it's Regan again. Dad decided that he needed to take a break from the blogs tonight. So I'm going to take another shot at it. Mom had a pretty good day today. In physical therapy she walked (with heavy assistance) 30 feet. Which is the full way that she was supposed to walk today. We don't want to sugar coat it, and make you think that she's making a miraculous recovery right now, but she's doing the best she can right now. She's getting really tired really easily. In speech therapy she had to quit a little early because her head was hurting her pretty bad. Which isn't uncommon, she was just getting worked a little too hard for a little too long. From what I've seen out of her from the past 2 days that I've been here, her spirits have just lifted so much. Lately we've been noticing that her sense of humor that we all know and love is coming back rapidly. She's cracking jokes, and she's telling us how annoying dad is, and how bossy he is! Haha, it cracks me up. You can tell that she's depressed, because she still doesn't fully understand why she is in the hospital, and why she can't just get up and go home. And it's really hard to explain to her, because she has short term memory loss for now. But we can deal with it. If she's here to learn all of those skills back, we're more than happy to help her with anything! And I know that most of you are too. And we appreciate that more than you can ever know. The blog may be very late tomorrow. Dad and I are going back home tomorrow to get some things taken care of. Keep leaving those comments! When mom is well enough to read, and to get on a computer, she's going to be reading all of your comments, to know how much everyone really loves her! Thank you! -Regan
