Hello everyone! It's Regan writing tonight. Dad thought it would be a good idea for me to do the blog tonight since I haven't written in a while, and since I was with Mom today. Overall I think that Mom had a pretty good day. My parents were telling me about how she takes a balance test with her physical trainer and the highest score you can get is a 56. And last week she got a 7. Which obviously isn't all that great. But she took the test again today and she got a 31! I just thought that was amazing. How in just 1 week she can improve that much. I was so happy! And then dad was having her do her homework that HE asked for. (She didn't like that too much.) Any who, he had her stand in one place for 2 minutes, by herself, and without her holding on to his hand for balance. She got pretty tired pretty quick. But then she tried again, and she did it for the whole time, but she was wanting to do other things, because just standing there was boring. Haha. But she stuck it out, and she started to do some squats. And while I was sitting there watching her do all of this, I was just amazed, and I didn't exactly know what to say, because I was speechless of how much improvement she has made since the last time I saw her, which was only a week ago. And every time I talk to her on the phone she tells me how much she just wants to come home. And I think that since Christmas is coming up that's more of a motivation for her to keep working so that she can come home sooner. And I've told her that, so she knows that's what she needs to do. But she's doing great from what I can tell, she's still cracking those jokes, and is able to keep that pretty smile on her face, and is able to keep up all the other smiles on the faces of everyone that loves her! Thanks mom! You're doing amazing, I'm really proud of you! Thanks! Keep reading, keep praying, keep loving.
