mom update

All is well here with mom. She is continually improving and getting better daily. This past month has been super busy with appointments. Since she's at the 6 month mark and done with her chemo it was time for all of her evaluations. She had an angiogram in Sacramento that looks great, there is still some healing taking place and a few areas that are in the early healing stages but all in all it looks super. She had her cognitive testing, follow-ups with every doctor, lots of running around and tiring days but we are finally at the end. After next week she will no longer be with Kaiser, a total bummer because we LOVE her doctors and care, but maybe someday she'll be able to go back.
She also started a class at the JC. We've only gone one day because she had too many appts the first week. Hopefully it will be good for her. It's two days a week in Santa Rosa and is called Coping Strategies and is a class for people who have acquired brain injuries.
Oh, and I've gotten her into playing on the Wii. So she will battle it out with Kobe and my dad. She likes driving MarioKart and BoomBlocks. It's Dang Fun!
