4 Days and Counting


Luisa only has 4 days left of therapy at TIRR and her extended hospital stay will come to a conclusion this Saturday. More musings on this to come later this week....

This weekend Chaz and Claire took mom to her favorite restaurant for the first time since October-Houston's. She insisted that she walk in the restaurant, rather than ride in the wheelchair, and had her first veggie burger-she LOVES the veggie burgers at Houston's-which are quite good if I do say so myself. So, the family hung out on Saturday and Sunday and it sounds like by all accounts Sunday went by better for all than Sat. did, not that Sat. was bad, it just seemed as though Lu was a little more comfortable outside of her little contained hospital environment. She was even walking better on Sunday and she told me it is because her, "blue and white shoes hurt her feet, but her red and white ones are much better." Aunt Jan and Van were able to make it to Houston and had lunch at the house with everyone yesterday-mom had a good time, she said, she tends to still get confused about a lot, but we are trying to talk and explain the reasoning behind everything.

God Bless,
The Ripoll's and Pippins
