Update time!
Deb is doing well. She's making some awesome progess in her walking and using her right hand. She's able to walk short distances without assistance 😊 Her speech is still a struggle for her but she's working so, so hard at it. She's going to therapy a couple times a week (physical, speech and occupational therapy). Comprehension is sometimes good, sometimes not.. lots of repeating, explaining, writing it down. Especially when it comes to numbers and dates. She second guesses a lot of what she says. She really misses her routine and going to work. We are trying to get her out and about more other than going to therapy and her doctor appointments. They had to put the dog down a couple weeks ago which was so hard for her 😭
Overall, she's hanging in there and doing well!
