Journal entry by Joel Hansen —
I wanted to give you an update.
Mom had a post-op check-up yesterday. Her x-rays looks good. There's still no sign of infection which is such a blessing. She is moving around at home pretty well. She is still using all sorts of tools at home, walkers and lift chairs and reachers. She has to wear a brace for as much of the day as she can for a few months yet, and she has to be careful not to bend or twist.
Internally, she's doing great. Healing still for sure, but healthy.
She has had great care in-home with occupational therapy, physical therapy, and nursing, but she's graduated from needing that. Going forward, she will be doing physical therapy twice a week, for the next months.
She asks me to thank everyone for your prayers and support. But the truth is, she up and around enough that she would welcome any checking in you want to do with her directly.
