April 21st

A good day for Jodi. It is nice to be back in therapy. She enjoyed the week off but got bored. Today, she did a lot of balance and upper body exercises for her trunk, and walked. For Occupational therapy she got herself out of bed, transferred to the bathroom, got dressed and ready to do her day, did laundry, and made a bottle for Ana Jain. She did all of this on her own. Tomorrow, she will get herself up and ready, go out to her own home in time to get breakfast for her children, feed, bathe, and dress them. From either the walker or the wheelchair, she will do some of her own laundry, clean some of her house, and then be at the U of U hospital for an appointment by 1:00 PM. This will be an especially busy and taxing day for her. She only has 14 more days with “Rehab Without Walls” and they want to get her as ready as possible to return home and be on her own. Not that she will be going home for a while but that is her eventual goal.

Hi Jodi, You continue to be my superhero. As are you, Connie and Robert. I hope you have a wonderful morning tomorrow, getting the kids ready. I know it will be a struggle, but what a wonderful moment to have again, too. Things are going a bit better, here. Nausea medicine is a blessed thing, and hopefully time will continue to help, too. We are 12 weeks now. Things got better with Isabel about 16 weeks, so I'm counting down. Take care, my Sweetie, Love Karen
