Whoopsies...I have no idea how the bottom one got flipped!
Day 37:
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to mom's SALVATION team! (that's what mom calls them)
The top picture is at mom's birthday party. The top picture is Buffy with mom. The middle picture has on the left of mom Nikki Sinclair and on the right of mom is Chelsey Schmidt. One of them is mom's physical therapist and the other is the occupational therapist. Yes, you see flowers there that THEY brought to mom. Who does that these days? The bottom flipped picture is Visante Madsen who is mom's speech therapist.
There is another picture on it's way of Buffy who is yet another therapist working with mom. They are collectively called, "TEAM 6" and they really are a dream team.
Saying we owe these ladies a huge round of applause, kisses, hugs, thanks and a many tears of appreciation will never do them justice. These ladies work so hard with mom and push her, challenge her and encourage her on a daily basis. They may look sweet and nice (which of course they are) but their mission is to get mom back in tip top shape. That means that they go, go, go all day long. As a result of their incredible talents in their field and wonderful personalities, mom is now able to brush her teeth, balance herself, lift her head, count backwards, out wit dad when grocery shopping and probably a 1,000 other things we don't even know about.
When I talk to mom, dad and Jo Jo they all comment, everyday on how lucky we all are to have them as therapists working with mom. Some people may say that it's just part of their job or who they are...I would argue that there is a piece in all of us that actually loves them.To hear how they are able to work with mom, their patience, attentiveness and willingness to help her can bring and has brought many tears to our eyes.

On behalf of moms family and friends, WE LOVE YOU Nikki, Chelsey, Visante and Buffy. Thank you for taking such care of our mom, wife, friend and family and bring her back to us.
How wonderful to see photos of Boise and her dream team! Thank God for them and people like them that have the knowledge, will, and kindness to provide services that help people get their lives back. We can all be grateful for them.
