Update on Mom

I want to thank all of you for the prayers, messages, healing energy and lovely thoughts you have sent.  Mom is doing better. Thought I’d give you a quick update on my mom.

She’s gone from this…
old-woman-lying-in-hospital-bed

To this…
woman in wheelchair

To this…
woman using walker


And is now working on graduating to this…
woman-cane

Realistically, we’re probably looking at another 3-5 weeks in rehab but if we are, we could be looking at this!
old-angry-woman-threatening-cane


Of course, there have not been big smiles as you see in the pictures above but she is on her way to recovery and will hopefully be able to live on her own again in the near future.  


Once that happens, if not before, I will probably be checking in to the local funny farm. Winking smile


Here is the YouTube link if the video above won't play.

      Visited her today and she's improved by leaps and bounds! Was so very proud of her! But will probably still be checking in to the funny farm. ;)

      Thank you, Han! She's made even more progress and is using a walker and a cane...she and her therapist are hoping she'll be able to go home on her own by the 16th of the month...we'll see.

    I'm so happy for your Mom's progress but can relate to your frustration. You're working, running back and forth and still trying to keep it together. Keep on keepin' on and we'll keep doing our part.
