Lois is continuing to improve after the seizure. She has almost resumed her hectic schedule with therapists. She has PT 3 days per week, OT 2 days per week and Speech 3-5 times per week. Lois has made great improvement with getting out of bed by herself. Last night when I went visit, she said to me “watch this.” At this point she was able to get herself moved and able to sit up on the side of the bed. From there all I had to do was hold her left hand and she was able to pivot into her wheelchair. Not too long ago we had to practically pick her up and put her in the chair. This is great progress. Speech is reporting that Lois continues to make progress. She has a number of worksheets, which we call homework, that we go through in the evening. These are many different kinds of word association items. The shower bench has finally arrived after being incorrectly ordered twice. This will make it easier for Lois to take a shower—eventually by herself.
