She had a short session of speech therapy, and was pretty exhausted this afternoon. We took her outside for a walk around the grounds, and Mom enjoyed the warmth of the sun and the breeze. She ate her meals and we even got some ice cream in her to increase her calorie total.
Dani gave Mom a book called My Stroke of Insight for her birthday gift. It is written by a woman who was a brain scientist who also had a stroke, and it outlines her path to recovery. Jim Jr. has been reading the book and has come up with a list of specific things we can do to help Mom on her path to recovery. One of the things we have decided is that we need to leave earlier each night, so Mom can get adequate rest.
Tomorrow will be six weeks since Mom's surgery. We are thankful for all your prayers and fasting today, and your love and support during the past month and a half. Mom has come so far, and we can see small steps of improvement each day.
