I wanted to fill all of you in on Mom's progress. This past week has been full of huge milestones for her! She has lots of new "tricks" up her sleeves these days!
A few days ago she started moving her right hand. Each day she has shown us more strength and more movement in her fingers and we've seen a few thumbs up!! Yesterday she was squeezing our hands, and when I say squeeze I mean a death grip squeeze!
Her right foot movement continues to increase daily! Toe wiggles, back & forth movement - you name it, that little foot can do it! Her eyes still remain open for an hour or two at a time and she can follow you around the room. {She was moved to a new room on a new floor and we love it - we call it The Four Seasons!!}
She was wiped out today - yesterday all of the grandkids stopped by for a visit! We had a blast taking pictures with Santa, eating cupcakes and running around Grandma's new hospital room! {It's about 3X the size of her old room, if you came to visit, you know exactly how tiny that old room was!}
Mom knows exactly what is going on around her and she can answer any question. It's pretty amazing. Yesterday Kelly and I asked her if she was happy while she was sleeping for five weeks and she shook her head NO! Poor Momma! She did tell us that she is happy now though!
We are so thrilled that she is continuing to heal each day, but we know it's going to a looong road full of ups and downs for her. We are just thrilled and so proud of her, it's exactly what we needed this Christmas.
Please continue to pray for a full recovery for our sweet Momma and for some signs of movement on her left side.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Love, The Sedlak Family
So very happy to hear about Cathy's progess. A long slow journey but getting to the end will be wonderful.
