It was such a gorgeous day here! It's amazing what a beautiful sunny day can do for you. Hannah went outside for a little bit for physical therapy and I went on a walk with Stef. We are both feeling like new women! She did great in therapy. We see improvements every day- today when she showered she was able to lift her hands above her head to wash her hair, and that is something she definitely couldn't do last week. She is eating better, although we have to keep sneaking in food that's not really on her diet. But in our defense there are not many things that sound good to her so when she says she will eat something we usually try to get it. Today the speech therapist peeked in while she was eating Subway-ha ha NOT on her diet. I hurried and hid it but when she came in later she said, "Is your mom still sneaking you in food?" So. . . guess we aren't too sneaky. Anyway, after seeing how capable she was downing a Subway sandwich, they changed her diet to more normal food. Hopefully now she can find things that she likes. I really hope she can get her appetite back because she has lost quite a bit of weight and she is way too skinny.
She loves weekends because she always has visitors. They keep her happy. Sure grateful for everyone who takes the time to come and visit her and help her know she is loved and missed. She's really getting homesick though. I guess it's a good thing they keep her so busy so she doesn't have too much time to dwell on it. I hope the next few weeks will go by quickly!
Well, hope you are all enjoying beautiful weather wherever you are! We are both so tired tonight so we are going to sleep. Thanks again everyone for all your love and support. We love you!
So glad to hear such a wonderful report! It seems progress is being made everyday and each time I read the good news I learn about another challange Hannah has been faced with that I didn't know about and stand in awe of her amazing strength & determination. Your whole family is an example of what it means to "wait upon the Lord" and to do so with patience, hope, and love. It's our prayer this Sabbath day will be a day you can truly call a delight as you take a moment to reflect upon the Savior and his '"tender mercies". Patti and I are among your long distant cheer leaders and even thought we can't be there with you we are there in spirit! Go Hannah!
