Life at Home

Hello friends & family,

Our sweet lady has been at home for two weeks now and she is doing very well. Each time I see her, I see an improvement!

She has had two weeks to rest and sometime this week she will begin outpatient rehab in the Med Center. Dad will drive her downtown 3 times a week. She will continue with OT, PT and Speech. I've noticed that her speech has gone downhill since her discharge from the hospital, but I pray that comes back once rehab starts.

Mom is truly happy these days, John Chris and I stop by their house everyday to say hi and she is always smiling. She has not lost her sense of humor, that's for sure. I think she laughs more than ever now! Life is too short and if you know us well, you know we like to have a good time - ALL THE TIME!

We've started to take Mom on little field trips to get her out of the house and she loves it! That girl loves to shop, so we make sure to hit up for favorite spots! Watch out Houston, she's coming back!

Dad has a new name these days and it's Saint John of Little Bear. He is amazing! He takes excellent care of Mom from morning to night. He works on her speech, applies daily meds, cooks meals, takes care of the house and you know what he says..."It's easy, Tooch!" I tell him, "he's going to straight to Heaven!"

Thank you to all of our friends and family these past two weeks for the yummy meals and treats, fun visits, gorgeous flowers and thoughtful cards! You all have made this huge transition much easier for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Love, Rachel
