Recovery - Day 03 (Evening)

To put it mildly, Sarah was tired at the end of the day today.

She had physical therapy twice today. This morning she did leg exercises and walked across the room with a walker. Then, this afternoon, she did some more leg exercises and walked all the way down the hall and back. She also was showing signs of further improvement with her facial exercises with the speech pathologist. She is sitting up on her own in bed and able to move much better. She also spent quite a bit of time in the chair today rather than the bed.

Sarah got a visit from two close friends. She smiled and talked with them. I knew that a few minutes with Jen and Stacey would cheer her up. A big thank you to the Young Women at church for their book of letters. We read them together this afternoon.

To pass some time, we started reading a book together as well. It was nice to sit and read together for a while just the two of us.

While I was at home, Dr. Nardone came in to see how Sarah is doing and he said she is doing great. So well, in fact, she will be moving out of Intensive Care and onto the Neuro floor for the remainder of her time here tomorrow.

We feel very blessed that she is doing so well. All of our prayers and those from all of you are working. Along with those prayers, Sarah is putting in hard work to bring them to pass. We all know she is a strong woman and it is showing now.

Needless to say, Sarah is ready for bed tonight and was falling asleep early.

We had another wonderful meal provided to us tonight by good friends. Thank you, again, so much for all of your support and kindess. It seems I say this every time, but we mean it and we can never thank you enough for everything.

Have a great night and we'll see what tomorrow brings.
