Magnificent Monday - 10 Weeks!

Today was a wonderful day of progress for Mom and a terrific way to pass the 10 week mark. Mom walked quite a bit today, and even went up and down several stairs in the therapy room, which is especially exciting since there are 3 steps into Mom and Dad's house. In addition, Mom was able to get from a sitting to a standing position several times today with only minimal help. She also got herself down from a low table onto a mat on the floor, and then up back onto the table almost completely on her own! She even supported herself for a brief time while standing in a doorway. The day's efforts were pretty exhausting, but she enjoyed a back and neck massage before bed. All in all it was a giant step forward. It's starting to feel like she is firmly on the path to recovery and independence, and gaining momentum each day. Here's hoping we are done with setbacks!!!

This is exciting!!!
