Mom was doing much better today. she had a full day of therapy. They had her doing everything from practicing doing buttons & zippers to strength exercises. Heidi said she even walked down the hall by herself (with the therapist holding on). The therapists said she worked very hard today.
She was much more alert today and talking more. Dad asked her today if she knew where she was and she said 'in the depths of hell'. I took Emery with me to see her today and she asked Emmy if she had a 'fun and electrifying time on her date'. She also told her it 'looked divine'. If you are sitting with her, write down the funny stuff she says in the notebook so that we will have many more 'Jude-isms' for the book!
The food they feed her is horrible. She took the lid off of her lunch and said 'ooh disgusting'. If any of you are sitting with her and they bring food that she won't eat, go to the cafeteria & get her some soup, yogurt, smoothie etc. Hopefully she will be on more solid foods soon. The therapist said that is the first thing they are working on (helping her swallow better).
Also we need to push her to drink as much water as possible. She is not drinking very much. Also remind her to go to the bathroom!
The doctor was very happy today with her progress!
