Yesterday, mom went to her first day of outpatient rehab therapy. They had her going up and down stairs, then steeper stairs. She also practiced getting up out of chairs - which has been the hardest part for her at home. She did so well that they said she only needs to come to therapy three days a week instead of five. This is a huge blessing: 1) she hates therapy; 2) her insurance says that after 12 visits we have to pay $30 co-pay for each visit. I dont' know how many weeks she will have to do it but it will save us some money no matter what. My sister also bought some children's activity books for her to do at home to help w/ her memory and vocabulary. Last night, she didn't even wake me to help her get up and go the bathroom. I don't know if she slept all night or if she got up on her own. But she is doing really well. Yea God!
