Day 42: All about the LEFT

A perfect picture for today...Mom is saying to us all, "I told you so"

Day 42:

It's a great day today! Wow...what a great day. 

Mom was hooked up to some kind of electrical sleeve which activated the movement of her left side. Although she can't move her fingers on her own, when the sleeve was on she was able to move her fingers! Apparently the therapist was thrilled because it was a sign that one day, mom will be able to move her fingers on her own. 

And...mom stood up with the help of the therapist and...wait for it....took one step!

You know how you get up in the morning and swing your feet over the side of the bed? Mom is now able to do this on her left side.

Her balance is continuing to improve and the strength she is regaining is amazing.

Let's see what other incredible news Tuesday brings us!

  5. Boise, What a great accomplishment. You are truly amazing. A reward is coming in the mail--look for it. Sweets for the sweet. Some of my blogs are not being published so I'm going to repeat some of them. Do you remember tearing the top off of a rented truck trying to get into South Coast Plaza's Crystal Court? What fun times we had. Be good, stay strong, Love ya, Marilyn
