Good Friday Morning

Karen continues to get stronger every day but she still has a long way to go.  Her schedule is quite grueling with anywhere from 3 to 4 ½ hours of therapy everyday plus 3-4 hours of dialysis 3 days/week, but she is maintaining a positive attitude and working hard.  We have seen a good change in her appetite over the last 24 hours.  She just finished lunch and ate a plate full of spaghetti!  In addition to physical therapy and occupation therapy, she is working with a speech therapist who is working with her on cognitive processes.  We continue to thank God for allowing her to be in the Sticht Center.  We are very impressed with the staff and the facility. 

 

Russ came home Wednesday night and will be here through Sunday, so that has brightened things up for her.  We hope you have a terrific Easter weekend and enjoy time with your family.  Don’t take your time with them for granted!
