Day 18: Rehab

Let's give a cheer for Dad! 
Of all times, he was doing a skin treatment on his head so his poor face is bright red and peeling. 
He's joking that he's scaring everyone!

Day 18: You know mom's a planner and loves agendas... here is her schedule today:
 
9:00- 11:30 she's doing 3 different kinds of therapy, occupational, speech and vocational. 
12:30 - 1:30: Lunch...perhaps a beautiful plate of mashed potatoes, applesauce and juice
2:00 - 3:00: More rehab
3:00 - 5:00 she rests and no visitors are allowed. 
5:00 on it's a party at Boise's!

Mom is working very hard and being a great student! According to the nurses, she never complains, always is polite and so far, everyone's favorite patient.

Yesterday was filled with mental exercises that would be hard for anyone. She had to name 20 animals in 20 seconds, she had to count backwards from fifty by 3's, remember sequences of words and numbers and recite them an hour later, etc. Very interesting. She is very determined and on a mission.
