Elvis has entered the building. Room 430 is now complete.
Just as a note, with my Mom having therapy in the morning through the afternoon, the best visiting hours for her are 5pm to 8pm.
My mom has now had nearly a full week of physical therapy, and she is doing very well. It has been quite tiring on her, but she is fighting through. Her appetite has been getting better, and she has been able to eat some food from home. Me and my dad have been visiting her at night and listening to music with her (We brought a boom box in a few days ago). Wednesday night was Steve Earle and Thursday night was Bruce Springsteen. The music seems to provide her with a way to relax and get away for at least a short period of time.
I was SOOO excited to talk to Norma tonight and hear her making sounds. I just know it won't be long until you will be able to speak again, Norma. I am sure that Elvis, Bruce and Steve will be helping the process along. So nice to hear that progress is being made. I hope that you will be able to go outside soon for a breath of fresh air. Our thoughts and prayers continue for you. Love you, Kimmie, Brett, Mike & Jer
ReplyDeleteOur love to Jimmie, Kev & Chris too.
Norma, all my best. Glad to see Elvis finally made his appearance.

ReplyDeletePaul and I visited Norma last night. (Monday) She was a super star! She took the spoon out of my hand and fed herself! Then she indicated that she wanted the cranberry juice. I had it in my hand and she took it out of my hand and with her left hand she opened that top. Those are the aluminum nasty tops that I struggle to open and she had it open in 2 seconds! She received a phone call from someone and she responded a lot to what they said. It must be difficult, but she was doing a great job. She was far more vocal on the phone than in person. I think the phone can be good. I understand that Chris will be arriving here today, so that will bring Norma great joy. Norma, keep up the good work...it is showing clearly. Love, Janet
