Laura's doing great! This weekend she has really seemed to come around mentally. She sleeps less and just seems more "with it". Even the nurses have commented on it. Her memory is definitely improving and she whizzes through all the speech therapy sessions now. You could converse with her before but her voice was quiet and you had to do the majority of the talking. Now she's a chatterbox. Maybe not much of an attention span, but a chatterbox.
Physically, the rehab is coming along nicely. The left leg will be the long pole in the tent with the recovery, but Laura's walking is looking better and better every day. Getting up and out of bed seems almost effortless now, and assisted walking is not all that assisted anymore, just a hand for guidance and balance. Still, though, all it will take is one misstep and down she'll go, and with that fractured clavicle that would be very bad.
Sunday was Megan's 5th month birthday. She's a sweetie. Everyone loves her at the Rehab Center.

ReplyDeleteMajor electrical/computer issues since our return from ME left your blog stuck on the August 6-7 post. I have just now "caught up" on the next seven posts...Phew, you have been busy, but sounds like productively so. Any more resolution from the docs as to the issue with the left leg? Nerve? Cranial? Laura's progress is such that I'm putting my money on the latter, which has a prettier long term picture. It's a long tunnel, but I hope by now you are seeing some light at the end of it. Kyle..are you getting some quality rest? Are you getting out each day for a little run/ride/R&R? Love this pic...you all have come a long way in 2+ weeks:-) Continuing to send positive mojo your way every day.....
