Sunday evening

Karen has had a pretty good day today. I brought her breakfast and lunch and Heather is bringing her dinner. She has eaten pretty well today. She has also taken 3 short walks down the hall and done well. She is stonger than before but having a little trouble with balance.

The PT came by today and agrees she needs rehab but also said that the Sticht Center is very strict about who gets in there and you never know what they will decide. Its like getting in to a prestigious school! If that doesn't work out there are a number of other alternatives that case worker will provide. The OT will come by tomorrow as well.

They also did another CT scan of her head just to make sure there was no late developing bleeding from her fall. They were a little concerned with a bit more weakness in her right arm vs left and just want to be cautious.

We are now out on the rooftop terrace in the fresh air and sunshine. Karen is really enjoying it and says she feels like a dog laying in the sun.

Thanks for the beautiful flowers from Erin, Livy, Jean Jones and the Bradfords/Wilsons and all the cards that flow in daily from so many of you!

Please pray for continued healing and a good outcome for rehab.

Glad to hear Karen could enjoy some of this beautiful sunshine. It was nice here today, too. Thank goodness for non-hospital meals!!! Good luck with the plans for rehab... They always have special tricks for those little things you have trouble with. Hope the coming week will bring some new milestones in the road to recovery. Keeping you in our thought and prayers. Love, Gayle
