TIRR Week 3

Hello sweet family and friends,

Mom has been at TIRR for three weeks now and I can't believe it! Rehab is going by so quickly. She is working very hard and has good days and fair days. Mom had a great weekend with lots of fun visitors. She loves seeing her friends and we do too!

She was given a tenative discharge date of...drumroll please...March 15th! Yesterday Dad and I started talking with Patrice {Mom's Physical Therapist} about getting our house ready for Mom's arrival and I get so excited just thinking about it. We believe that home will be the ultimate healing spot for her, but she has four more difficult weeks at TIRR to get her ready for that next giant leap! I know that I am ready for life to get back to normal!

Mom's therapies are going well. She likes her schedule to be full and her therapists are making sure that happens. She is slowly coming back to us and I enjoy watching her personality shine through more and more each day. Yesterday at music therapy she requested Elvis, haha! She keeps her therapists laughing, that's for sure! ; )

Last week Dr. Ivanhoe ordered a CT scan of Mom's brain and she was pleased with the results. It showed less swelling and blood that still needed to be absorbed. The blood presence is actually a good thing because it means that as the blood is absorbed she will continue to improve!

Thanks again for all the support and prayers this week, our pretty lady is feeling the love!

Love, Rachel
