Back, bigger and better than ever

It was a fairly short stay in the hospital. She was back home Saturday, January 3rd, with a new attitude and new resolve to get better. She seems determined to get out of the nursing home by the end of the month: a giant leap, so prayers are needed!

Dad supports her in this, and continues to help work her legs when not in therapy. They are shooting for at least 3 extra times a day to do self-therapy, so hopefully this will help.

I don't know whether they jacked up her anxiety and depression medicine or what, but it really seems to be helping. She got her hair fixed/cut yesterday and seemed in the best spirits I've seen her in a while.

According to my non-exact figures: as of December 29, she has been in a medical facility of some sort for 9 months.

Her birthday is January 23rd, so if anyone wants to send a card or email, let me know. She would love to hear from you!

Thanks for all your continued prayers. Happy new year, everyone!
