She is moving around and has a couple more exercises she has brought into her daily routine. In a secure environment, she can place her arm on her leg and raise it up and too the side. She does this a couple of times a day. Her hand has gone down but her elbow is still not straightening. It seems as though she might have actually fallen on her elbow causing the swelling and limited movement. She is pushing through and I know she is getting stronger. I got to her house and she told me that she emptied the dishwasher! It took her about 15 minutes but she did it herself. I never thought that anyone could get excited about emptying a dishwasher! I was really happy for her. I know that she is determined to get stronger.
Mom got her first visitor this week too. On Friday, November 29th my mother in law, Allyson came over to surprise Mom. She brought her some great soup and sat with Mom for a while. This really made her feel special to know that so many people are continually thinking about her.
My Quote for Mom is..........
LOVE HEALS YOU!
On Halloween we even got her hair done and she put a sweater on all the way over her hand! It was a great day for Mom. It was beautiful and she was able to get out and Trick-or-Treat with the family and seeing all of the fun neighborhood kids costume. I know she was happy to get out of the house.
Mom doing her exercises!
Look at all of the great cards, flowers, and kind things from her friends & family. She feels extremely blessed.
