Thursday (day 161)

Good Evening all. There isn't much to write about as the therapists are on rotational holidays and the therapy isn't quite as intense this week. They are giving Shawna some medicine for "tone" to make her muscles relax especially her right leg. Well it's not making her leg relax much and it seems to have slowed down progress on her left side. Just something we have to talk to the therapists about on Monday. This weekend we will again be staying with Shawna in the ADL apartment in order to facilitate her coming home for an evening or two (July 12 and July 19). Her bed and lift are being set up in her room this coming Tuesday. We seem to have hit a bit of a lull in the activity but there is still some good progress especially with her head movement and balance and eye tracking. We remain thankful and are getting a bit excited about having her come home overnight! Daily we receive mercies from God's hand and we continue to pray for Shawna's recovery. thank you again for your prayers and support. Al and Deb
