Today Is A Very Special Day


DORIS IS GOING HOME!!!!!

It has been a long seven months with many ups and downs but Mom has persevered and has made a lot of progress. It has been seven weeks since she took her first steps. She has worked really hard to get this far in such a short time. She is able to transfer from bed to wheelchair on her own. She is also comfortable with the walker although it is slow small steps.

At home, she will have 24 hour care and therapy for a couple of weeks. Once she gets used to being at home, she will travel back to rehab for her therapy. They will pick her up and bring her home by van.

She had a nerve conduction test performed yesterday on her leg. The doctor said it would probably be 2 to 2 1/2 years for the nerves to fully repair.

She has come a long way, but still has a long way to go.

Keep her in your prayers, they have worked so far.
