I am glad to be feeling much better today so I can visit Lynne again. Today, I brought Lynne one of her favorite treats, a McDonald's Carmel Frappe. Luckily, the center has a refrigerator as she still had about two hours of therapy remaining after I arrived. After a couple of slurps from the straw, I asked her if it was good. She said, "fantastilicious." I don't think that is a word but I was pretty happy to hear five syllables uttered to perfection. I think that is just fantastilicious.
Lynne walked 250 feet today with light contact for safety purposes then she used her feet to move her wheelchair 150 feet. I spoke with the rehabilitation doctor and he is targeting a Saturday release date. After release, she will have home therapy and when she improves a bit more probably some out-patient therapy.
She did have a total of five hours of therapy today. She took a very short nap this afternoon, so she should sleep pretty good tonight.
I bring her the cards you send each day. Each usually elicits an "ahh...." from her. We do appreciate the cards and comments you leave on the blog and Facebook.
Regards,
Darryl
