Mom is having her monthly rehab assessment this week. Will know more about her progress when they give us the results next week.
We met with one of the social workers from TIRR today and discussed long term plans for mom. The ultimate goal is to have her back at her house in Orange with Aunt Maxine.
To do this we will need to get several things in place. Mom and Aunt Maxine will need someone there to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day.
They are recommending mom do one more level of therapy in Houston before returning to Orange full time. We are not sure how long this will last.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers,
Ramona, Stephen and Sonya

Update
Hello everyone,
Sorry for being silent for so long. Life is incredibly busy.
Mom has moved in with Sonya and I. She stays with us Sunday evening through Friday afternoons. On the weekends, she goes back to Orange and stays with either Johnny or Sheryl.
Sonya takes mom to outpatient therapy on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. She receives Speech, Occupational and Physical therapy each day.
Mom can not be left alone so Sonya takes care of her during the day. When I get home from work, I take over. Sonya is incredible and I know mom is doing so well because of her constant care.
Mom is making improvements. We have seen them ourselves. But I must warn you, it is still going to be a long road.
Several of the therapists say Mom will never be the same. It may take more than a year or two for her to be close to who she was again.
We are very uncertain about the future. We are just taking it one day at a time.

Quick Word from Mom
We started Outpatient Therapy today. Mom is doing okay overall, but the therapists did note there is still lots of room for improvement.
She likes her therapists overall and we are hopeful they will continue to help us improve.
Her is a quick word from Mom.

I will keep posting on the blog.
There has just not been a lot of change recently and we have had our hands full with Mom and work.
