It has almost been 3 months since our mom suffered her debilitating stroke.  She returned to Iowa at the end of August and spent  the next 3 weeks in acute rehab at  the Mary Greeley Rehab Center.  She then moved to the Hubbard Care Center where she continues to stay.   

Physically, she  is getting stronger and making improvements.  I was with her for a PT session this past week and watched her work  hard with so much determination.  She even did some walking with assistance.  These improvements are huge from where she was  3 months ago.   Unfortunately, her memory has not made as big of  improvements.  We assumed they had been working with the cognitive side of things and were super disappointed to find out, 3 weeks into her time in Hubbard, they had not.   She is still full of smiles and has her sense of humor.   We've been told by many staff, that she is just the sweetest.  We agree!
