GOD IS AWESOME. Truly. I know so many people began praying the second they heard about my parents. And God has shown he does listen and is using the whole situation for His good.
Anyways, my mom is doing SO well! I am so proud of her. She is no longer in the hospital and has been moved to a rehabilitation type facility south of Des Moines. Her trach was removed quite a while ago. Her voice took a while to come back, but to my ears her voice sounds almost 100%. As you may have guessed, Ma lost a significant amount of weight over the last month or so but in the last couple of weeks has started to put some weight back on. HOORAY! Ma has also been going through daily physical therapy for her legs, arms, and neck. She told me they think she is doing very well and have even been adding some weight to her exercises. Next Wednesday, Ma will run through another x-ray to see how her pelvis is healing and hopefully the doctors will be able to determine then when the pelvic brace will be removed. She will also have another head scan to make sure the blood initially found in her head is being absorbed and is not clotting. Please pray the doctor has good news for her (well, us)!
I speak with one (or both) of my parents almost every day. Mom seems to be in such good spirits. I'm sure she has her moments, but she has proven once again...she is a strong woman. Dad is really starting to miss having my Mom around the house. He is trying to juggle work, driving back and forth to see my mom, and the day-to-day household tasks. But he is also strong, and my parents are so blessed to have friends and family nearby.
Thank you for the prayers you've offered so far. Please keep praying and know that you're helping my parents to heal.
Love to you all.
