So my mother is walking again......GO CAROLE!
Now to clarify, she is using a hemi cane to help her walk.
The last week few weeks my mother started to walk between 10-12 feet.
Just last week Betty informed me that my mother walked out of her room, down the hall to the nurses station and back. A total of about 50-60 feet.
Overall, my mother sounds better each time we talk.
I talked to her speech therapist last week. He told me that my mother's emotions are beginning to return and that she is smiling and laughing more. He also said that her facial symmetry is returning.
One thing my mother will be working on to improve is her executive functioning. For example, to improve her ability to make plans and carry on a conversation.
I do know that she is getting very ancy to get back to 3950 Ironwood Circle #406.
If you have time, please give her a call between 5:30-6:00pm on her cell phone. 717-476-6420. My aunt Betty will answer because she is visiting with my mother during her dinner.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MOM, WE ALL LOVE YOU!
