Therapies are going very well for Luisa. She is walking better every week, having to complete homework for speech therapy every night and is cooking something in occupational therapy today. So, yesterday her OT asked her what she wanted to cook and she told him "a gumbo", well she was upset to know that he didn't want to b/c it would take too long. A quick trip to Kroger's yielded a chicken and potatoes, Chef Lu will be preparing that for her OT, Steven, this afternoon.
Monday was the first day that her "nurse" started staying with Lu at home. Dad doesn't think that she will need someone at home with her for very long, pretty amazing considering that we thought they would need round the clock help just 2 months ago.
Love to each of you. Thank you for keeping up with our story.

***To those people outside of Louisiana reading this, yes, I know that gramatically "a gumbo" is not correct, but we have our own lingo in south La.

Gumbo sounds good to me. I am sure it is only a matter of time before the gumbo pot gets going.
Luisa, you look wonderful. I still have people in my own circle, Irma, Nickie, Anna, (Theresa's sister) and many more who ask about you often.
Keep up the good work and we all hope to see you soon.
Hi Luisa,
Hope you had a good weekend. Did you get to make a gumbo yet? That sounded real good. I bet the OT wished he had more time so he could stick around for the gumbo.
Just wanted to say hello and let you know I was thinking of you.
Happy Memorial Day!
Have a good week,
Nichole
