Happy New Year! I, for one, was thrilled to see 2008 come to a close!
Just a little update to let you know how everything is going...
Mom has been home since 12/23. I was in OK helping until last Friday, when I returned to Indianapolis. I'll be going back to OK 1/10 - 1/17 for another stretch.
In the meantime, mom has caregivers coming to help her with things that she can't do on her own... some meal preparation, light house-keeping, etc. She is getting stronger and stronger all the time, becoming much less dependent on the wheelchair (aka "Breezy"), using the walker instead. Soon, mom's doctors should upgrade her to outpatient status (now she's on home-health), which will allow her more freedom to go out to eat, to a movie, etc. Currently, she is still receiving PT and OT in her home a few times per week.
Mom is happy to be home with Thatcher and her birds, Perula and Romeo. She loves having visitors, so give her a call if you'd like to stop by sometime.
Here's to a much better, healthy and happy 2009!
love,
jennifer

Hi, Jennifer...
I'm glad to hear your mother is home and doing better. It's always easier to heal at home! Have a good time visiting your mom in Oklahoma. I know it can't be easy on you having to travel so much. Call Holly if you need some friend time while you are there. I know she would love to see you.
Have a happy day,
Tracye Cates-Johnson
