it's extraordinary, really!

Sorry about the lack of postings, I guess sometimes life catches up...

Anyway, superb news...

So, yes, she was transferred to E- Wing which is on the first floor at the hospital in Sacramento. They got her standing again and she's getting so much stronger everyday. Also, she is able to scoot herself off of the bed and into the chair- seriously amazing. Previous to this they would lift her into and out of the chair and now she's doing it on her own.

Are you ready for more good news?

She is being transferred to Vallejo Rehabilitation most likely tomorrow. This is incredible because it means it's nearing the end of her hospitalization. They are anticipating her being there for 4 to 6 weeks. This is a HUGE step for my mom. It is here where she will learn how to do everything again and really work those muscles. She will have intense physical therapy for three hours per day.

The best news about all of this is that mom is actually proud of herself for what she has accomplished. She is very excited about this next step and is super excited to start working hard and getting herself better. She asked me to thank everybody for your support and loves hearing everyone who is writing and asking about her on a daily basis. She sometimes asks me to read her the e-mails and notes, or will just ask "So, who's contacted me today?" This is really nice and she remembers everyone so far. Even those notes from her old classmates who say "I don't know if you'll remember me or not..." and she says of course I remember.

Fantastic news!

Note: I know everyone is thinking, woohoo we can come and visit and I believe that is the case but we need to be careful as to not overwhelm her. So once I find out the visitation schedule I will let you know. Also, I will let you know when she actually is transferred. It seems that we are always told oh it'll be today but like everything else even to get a room ready for her downstairs in Sacramento took like 4 days. Yippee, even more progress!!!!
