Journal entry by Teresa Rogney —
I know I don’t post much here anymore but I wanted to get the word out to everyone about the benefit some friends and family are throwing for my mom on April 30th at UW wanderoos. The benefit is to help with what it’s going to cost to get her a handicap accessible van and help with housing costs as we are looking to get her into a new place. I don’t have much info to share about it other than that there’s a lot of good stuff being raffled off throughout the day, 50/50 boards, Gun and Purse bingo from 2-6, and a meat raffle starting at noon. I’m planning on bringing mom up too for a little while that day as long as she’s well enough to go.
We’ve been home now for a little over two months and mom is still doing well. She’s had a couple of road blocks to get over but with anyone in her condition it’s expected and we’ve managed to get through them thus far. She’s been working with speech, occupational, and physical therapists with the hopes of regaining some feeling and movement and eat a cheeseburger. Her custom wheelchair is almost ready and soon we’ll be able to get her out of the house much easier and she’s been waiting anxiously for that. We’ll finally be able to bring her to see the spinal cord specialist she’s been waiting to see down in the cities too. She definitely loves being home and out of the hospital and has enjoyed seeing those of you who have stopped by so please don’t be hesitant to swing in for a visit. We hope to see you all on the 30th!
