My Mom rocks. Yesterday she was not able to meet her goals so we couldn't visit her. Today, she came roaring back with a vengeance. When we called the social worker today to ask if we could come, she said that not only did Mom accomplish enough of her goals for us to see her, but she accomplished all her goals in therapy today!! Then the social worker called us back just as we were getting ready to leave to tell us that she had talked to Mom's PT who told her that one of Mom's goals for today was to take four steps. She got that far and then said, "I want to do more" and took an additional step!! And then when we got there to see Mom, she told us that when she first went to therapy this morning, she wasn't able to meet her goals so she asked if she could go back to try again!
She told Dad, "I couldn't stand the thought of not being able to see you again today."
According to Mom's psychologist, she is doing "fantastic." Everyone is really noticing the difference and he said she is working hard with him to do all he asks in helping her get better. This man has been such a blessing. He's really giving so much of his time to truly invest in helping her. His attention seems to have been a catalyst for her. To be honest, I don't think I've felt this (cautiously) optimistic in a long time.
