We have had a great day with Jenny. Sophia has been asking to sit on Jenny’s lap, so we gave her a chance while they watched tv and Jenny had her hair brushed. The kids love to climb in bed with Mom and they get excited when they see her body move. Jenny asks for the kids to come hug her and she loves the contact. On the flip side, it is difficult to hear the kids get hurt and the instinctive reponse is to call for Mom. Jenny wants to comfort them so bad. The kids are sometimes allowing us to bring them to Jenny when they are hurt- especially when they just need hugs.
Jenny complains about not being able to sleep much. She does not appear to be sleeping ever. She states that she has not slept more than 1-2 hours at a time since her stroke. She also reports that she tends to not sleep at nights. She doesn’t sleep days, so I’m not sure what is going on. Her muscle spasms are still gone. I really think the Botox shots were wonderful. We worked on head movements today and Jenny was able to lift her head back and forward, left to right, and truning left to right. I held the back of her head for minimal support. She gave more than slight movement. I let go several times and she could move completely by herself! I get all teary eyed when these things happen. Jenny still is not pleased with her progress, but I think she feels good deep down.

JENNY……I KNOW IT IS TOUGH TO CONTINUE THERAPY, BUT IT IS NESSARY TO WORK ON GETTING BETTER. AS SOON AS YOU STOP, YOU REGRESS. KEPP THIS IN MIND WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE QUITTING. YOU HAVE MADE IT THOUGH THE SCARY STUFF. NOW IT IS JUST ALOT OF HARD WORK. NEVER GIVE UP.
MARK……YOU ARE DOING A FINE JOB. THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE CARRING HER TO HER ROOM AND HAVING THE KIDS THERE TO GIVE HER HUGS IS ACTUALLY A BIG THING.THE EMOTIONAL HEALING THAT HAPPENS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF RECOVERY. GETTING OUT AND AROUT DOING AS MANY THINGS THAT SHE ENJOYED BEFORE
WILL HELP HER RELIXES HOW GOOD SHE IS REALING DOING. I WOULD NOT SUGGEST THIS UNTILL SHE IS READY.
KIDS……YOU ARE DOING YOUR PART BY LOVING YOUR MOM. SHE NEEDS YOUR AND DAD’S LOVE AND SUPPORT MOST OF ALL.
ALL OTHERS …..THEY NEED LOTS OF PRAYERS AND SUPPORT FOR A LONG TIME.
