Journal entry by Bradi Jonasson

Well it’s been over 3 months now since our mom suffered from her stroke. It’s been amazing to see how far she has come and she still has a way to go.

Mom is going to therapy 3 times a week and working hard at home when we aren’t at courage Kenny. 

We are discovering her strengths and her weaknesses while finding ways to communicate effectively. It can be frustrating but she continues to work hard to make sense of all of this. 

The Gofundme page is still active and we are still accepting donations if you are able. It’s hard to ask, especially during a time like this when we know everyone has their own barriers. The timing of her stroke and being furloughed left our mom without insurance coverage for some time until I got it settled  with the social worker and medicate. Unfortunately that meant nearly 20 days uninsured  being in the hospital 😰

We can’t thank you enough to those who have reached out and supported her during this time. Truly it’s been such a blessing .

Therapy is the name of the game now and we pray she continues to progress! 

Some  images attached from therapy. 
the connect the dots artwork was difficult at first but she started to recognize the numbers which was a huge accomplishment!

 

Have a wonderful week everyone!
