Ahhhhmazing!

Things we have learned about Luisa since she got back home:
1. She can bathe, dress and put her makeup on-all unassisted.

2. She still enjoys a mimosa!

3. She knows how to grocery shop. Claire brought her to the grocery yesterday and she picked out dinner (chicken and brocolli). When they got to the check out counter, Claire walked off for a second and when she came back mom had her visa out paying for the groceries.

4. She prepared the meal yesterday, in full! Claire said she removed the insides of the chicken, washed it off, seasoned it and then set the oven to the proper temperature.

OK I hope at this point you are saying to yourself, "What?" Basically, mom has just assumed her role at home as if she did not have any life changing event-we are trying to restrain how much we say "wow" to her b/c it is pretty much all of the time and she just thinks it is pretty normal. Once her bum leg gets back to normal, there will be no stopping her!

Monday was her first day of outpatient therapy. She is going to do PT, OT, Speech and have a group session 5 days a week right now, which will probably change to 3 in a few weeks.

So, I don't think things could be going more smoothly right now.

Cheers!
