Kathy made a huge step last week. Mom stood up on Friday last week for the first time. They use a device to help support your weight as you regain strength. She was on her feet for 6 minutes. As her legs get stronger hopefully soon I'll be able to report her first steps or standing unsupported.
Also, there is now a phone in the room if you want to call. 816-429-6308. Afternoons or evenings would probably be best to call as she's in therapy most of the morning. She still can't reach the phone without help. If nobody answers you might try again later.
Chuck is still spending time at the nursing home this week getting some things in order before returning to work part time next week. He'll work in the mornings and then head back to the nursing home in the afternoons. He works at the library in the same town as the nursing home.
Please keep sending cards, prayers and happy thoughts our way. I'll see some of you soon in Portland! Mom and Dad won't be making the reunion this year but I will be representing for Kansas City.
