Mom's Father Passed Away Today

Therapy has been very good for mom. She is starting to get slight movement in her left leg. The therapists worked mom's left arm today, and she wasn't happy about dad and I touching it or moving it because she was very sore. (We hope and pray to see movement in that left arm.) She is working hard with the therapists. Today she kept her balance sitting up by herself while the therapists kept pushing her off balance to help train her core muscles. She did leg excercises too, they isolated her left leg to train the muscles to start working again, and she did very well at that also.

Sad news came today, Mom's father passed away. She called him last night and talked to him, and we are so grateful she was able to talk to him. Grandpa hasn't been doing well and she has been concerned for him. After she hung up with grandpa, he went down hill and passed away this morning just after midnight. We waited until this evening to tell her so Dad could be with her. She was sad but seemed to handle the news okay. She said she thought something was up when grandpa didn't talk about his cats, he always tells her about his cats. She had a good attitude about things when dad left. We love you Mom! Hang in there!

We are fasting again this fast Sunday for Mom's recovery, that her left arm and leg will gain strength and movement. We pray for Mom that she will not let her father's passing set her back in her recovery. We are so sad that she can't be at the funeral or viewing but we'll take lots of pictures and video for her. Thanks so much for your love and support!
