Mom has been doing really well for the past few weeks. No infections or ailments to fight off, so she can spend her energy building up strength. She's getting a lot of PT during the week. I think we're starting to see some progress in the strength and mobility of her torso. It's wonderful. We got her some tennis shoes for her PT sessions, so I'm sure they'll be getting her up more and more.
She's also finally interested in DVD's and audio books. She now has a small portable DVD player that sits on her lap or tray table. They have many DVD's and books/magazines that she can check out to help pass the time.
The staff at Pacific has been very attentive and communicative with us, which we really appreciate. It seems like the staff is finally able to see how strong Mom can be and how hard she can work when she's not fighting off any other ailments. It motivates them to work with her more to keep up her progress (in my opinion).
