Journal entry by Ashley Tischer —
Emily has been hard at work as she continues on her recovery journey. She works hard each day to make improvements that blow our expectations out of the water. For those of you that know Emily well, this is of no surprise. Tell Emily she can’t or won’t do something and then stand back and watch her to do it - with style!
Most notably, Emily has started to work on walking with a cane or a walking stick rather than her walker or wheelchair for short distances. She works hard each day to try and get her strength, range of motion and capabilities back. At this time she has planned physical therapy through June.
Perhaps even more impressive than her hard physical work is her ability to remain positive and driven. As I said above, for those of you that know Emily well - this is again, no surprise. She is determined!
The amount of love, support, donations, well wishes, etc. that continue to pour in is humbling and awe inspiring. Thank you to everyone that continues to support Emily and her family through all of this. They are all truly thankful.
A $25 donation to CaringBridge powers a site like Emily's for two weeks. Will you make a gift to help ensure that this site stays online for them and for you?
