It is another positive milestone to share about my Mom the amazing Dixie as she keeps making strides . This past week she has made more progress with her at home physical therapy she is still getting . She has been able to stand in her own kitchen from her wheelchair without really any assistance . Prior to that she has been able to get more strength to lift her body up and sit safely on side of the bed. This was not something physical therapy in her prior rehab even ventured to try because they just didn’t think it was possible or safe. But she keeps pushing herself as much as possible and has so much will to keep going even after almost 6 months now from the stroke.  She also is able to eat anything she wants safely now. She is super excited to be going out this week to one of her favorite restaurants with us all to go to Texas Roadhouse. She has plans to have some steak for sure .  Also she has had a recent eye speciality appointment too where we are going to soon obtain her new eye glasses with magnification. She had not been able to read for so many months due to vision issues and anyone who knows her realizes this is something she misses so much. She so far had gotten a special magnifier with a light that has already helped her read on her own successfully. It was so wonderful to see how happy this made her to read one of her own favorite books.
