Last night was the first night mom spent in her new place in Montpelier, OH. She slept really well, and doesn't feel like she needs as many naps anymore.
She had her PT evaluation at the rehab facility today. In the category of "big relief" after our up-and-down rehab facility tour, Mom absolutely loves this place! They agreed with me about having to hold her back rather than pushing her forward, to keep herself from pushing too hard and potentially getting injured. They have her doing breathing exercises every hour and are taking great care of all those crazy wounds on her hands and feet (blisters, dead tissue, etc).
They are configuring her diet specifically to what she needs for her renal, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and gluten intolerance issues. She's feeling amazing there! The dietician is doing an amazing job of providing tasty food that works for her. They've also put her on a probiotic, since she's still on a suppressive antibiotic to fight that darn bacteria in her kidneys.
Exciting news/progress, she's able to pick up her new kindle (the voyage), turn it on, and turn the pages. Just a few days ago, she was struggling to turn the pages, much less focus on the words and absorb the book. She's once again able to read books that make Jon blush whenever he opens his Amazon account to the "recent purchases" section of our shared account!
This is good for your dad for her to be so close. and it's great that they're taking her dietary issues into consideration.
