Janet, you are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad that I can help out from far away - and don't worry, we will meet someday!

I hope your mom gets to go to your first choice of rehab facilities!!!

This is good news Janet! I am very happy for you that she is doing better.

So glad that your Mom is doing better Janet.

YAY!!!! So happy to hear the good news.

Mom is at the Mulberry Retirement Community in the rehab area. She had her first occupational, physical and speech therapy sessions yesterday and did really good. Mom is trying so hard. We had to be careful when she ate because of her swallowing, but she is doing good there too. Mom didn't cough/choke at all during her speech therapy.

I did spend the first night with her and we did not get sleep....new bed....new place and Mom...well...she couldn't sleep so guess who didn't get to either??? LOL

I am not going over quite as early today...need to mail her bills, pay mine and throw a load or two of laundry in, then I'll head over.

Mom is doing better and as long as there are no setbacks all the therapists think she'll only be there a few weeks. That makes Mom work harder.

I'm so happy to hear this positive update! YAY for MOM! I knew she had a lot of rehab potential, given her symptoms right after the stroke.

You take care of yourself, Janet. I know she wants you there with her A LOT, but she will be fine and you don't need to wear yourself out running back and forth. Wean her off a little bit day by day. It wouldn't be terrible if you skipped a day or two now and then.

I hope things continue to go smoothly! They really work them HARD at rehab and this is as it should be. She may complain a bit about the rigor of rehab once they get going. It will be OK though!

I am so glad to hear that your Mom is in rehab! And happy that things are going well for her there. I hope she continues to improve Janet.
