Great News!
I know it's been awhile since I've updated on here! Sorry about that! Mom is doing really well!
Mom visited the orthopedic surgeon in Charleston this past Friday & got a great report! She is cleared to start putting weight on her feet! Yay! It's been almost 3 months since the accident & she is definitely ready!
A couple of months ago, my dad found one of those lift recliners that lifts you up into a standing position. After mom's appointment on Friday, she decided to try it. Daddy put the walker in front of her & she lifted into standing & stood there for a few seconds. She said it was very hard! Her knees have been aching ever since!
Even before this past doctor's appointment, Mom has been getting out a lot more lately. She's been to church several times, lunch at my in-laws' house, & even made a couple trips to Walmart. Daddy is her chauffeur & takes her everywhere. She's come over to our house for dinner a couple of times. She & Daddy are even going to babysit Blake for the first time since the accident this coming Friday.
Meanwhile, Blake has just started walking in the last few weeks. He's still pretty unsteady & has taken many tumbles. Unfortunately, this means we've had lots of bumps & bruises so far! This past weekend he fell & bit a pretty good chunk out of his tongue. It bled a lot & scared me to death! Then he fell at my in-laws' house & busted his lip! He looks like he's been in a fight. I guess I need to teach him to say, "If you think I look bad, you should see the other guy!" He's talking up a storm lately too. I need to put together a list of all the words he says! There are a lot!
Here are a few recent pictures! Thanks for continuing to check here on Mom's progress!
