So today was my mother's SECOND PT (physical therapy) session!
Betty was witness to this great moment!
Eric and Jody from therapy took some baseline measurements then assisted my mother is sitting up. They then asked her to 'hold herself up' by balancing on the bed with BOTH ARMS!!!!!! She did it! It wasn't long or easy but SHE DID IT!
After a few minutes they helped her stand. This took more energy from my mother but she did it too! Now understand both therapists were holding her. One was helping/holding her legs and the other with her upper torso.......BUT STILL SHE DID IT.....
It was a great moment!
Of couse almost immediately afterward she was ready for 'rest'!
