July 28, 2008


 

Jodi and family had a pretty good time in Sun valley.  It was hard in some ways due to all the stairs but it only means that she had to exercise a little more.  We all look forward to next year when she should be able to walk and eat everything that she wants.  Her eating is just in the beginning stages so even though she can sit with us during meals, she still can only take a few tiny bites.  Just enough to wet her appetite. Jodi celebrated her birthday in Sun Valley with all of us present. Her children did not want to come home so I guess the vacation was a success.  All the family pitched in to help Robert and Jodi so that it would not be too hard for them and so that they could enjoy themselves as well.


 

Jodi is not involved with therapy at the U of U at this point as she is saving her therapy days for after her foot surgery.  The surgery is scheduled for 8/11.  She is doing a lot of her exercises with me on a mat and she is riding an exercycle every day.  Her swallowing is slow to improve but at least it is improving.  Patience is such a hard thing to learn. 


 

Ana Jain is getting so attached to Wendy and Kevin's family that it continues to be a source of worry for us but we are hopeful that as Jodi gradually moves back to her own environment that we will be having Ana Jain with us daily as well and things will get better in that regard.  We love and appreciate your continued prayers.
