A week in rehab brings big changes

Well, the move to Wyandotte rehab has been good. Its been a while since the site has been updated, but I was off on a minor vacation.

During my absence, Sue has made some great progress, and appears to have regained some motor and cognitive skills. She has also been helped along with some anti sleeping drugs, such as Provigil and Ritillin. These two drugs appear to have put mom into a mode of being more alert and able to have conversations. She does use yes and no quite a bit, but longer more thought out sentences take a bit more time. She does quite well now in therapy and can walk with one person helping. She was given a cane and can use that with some limitations.

She was approved for another week in rehab which puts her there through the 28th of June. If she does well again this weekend and during the week, she could be there one more week. If you plan to visit Sue during the week, please go after 6pm in the evenings. She is in rehab from 9:30am to 4pm most days and is very tired for about an hour after. She does get therapy on the weekend but its not posted or the same each time of day. Its not as intense so weekends are ok. If you feel up to it, wheel her outside, she does like that.
