Wow, I can’t believe that it has been this long since I updated. The biggest update is that Lois hates the power chair that she has had on loan. We can’t really figure out why but she just does not like using it. She wants to try a scooter and we are making those arrangements now. She has been treating this whole process much the same way she would buy a car. Lois continues to have improvement with PT. Nick has been working on some new things that seem to be paying off. Lois is able to hold up her weak arm much longer and even able to squeeze a ball with her weak hand which is exciting. She does however continue to sleep a great deal and often is too tired to go on outings. We tried for several days to go to the grocery store and finally I just had to go to get her groceries. She still is up late at night and sleeps until past noon. Her brother Howard came to visit at the end of March for a few days. We did go out to dinner one night when Howard was here. We are having some trouble with several of the aides. (Why grown women cannot get along is beyond me!) We might make some changes soon as Lois would like to try having some time alone. We have had 24 hr coverage since she came home from Weinberg. More work is planned on her house to enable her to more easily get to the back porch or to get out the front door. We are also planning a garage sale some nice weekend in May.
