well... home to mama..
her and Eli ( her four year old ) ..
will stay with us until she's ready to be on her own again.
lots n lots of details..
but, will leave it at ths for now..
three weeks ago she had a 'LIFE ENDING EVENT "
that paralyzed her right side and
rendered her incapable of communicating...
none of which were expected to improve much.. if at all.
she's walking and talking ( not perfectly.. but amazingly well..
her face doesn't show signs of stroke ( I had her doing face excercises from the moment she could follow a direction...I knew it would matter to her )
she has had movement in her shoulder and elbow..
and, today .. so slightly .. her fingers !!!!!
BTW.. walking without a walker or cane.
there's still a long hard road ahead of her..
but .. my daughter is an amazing woman.
hug and love

Hang in there, 4 year olds have a great ability to adjust to their mommies being ill. When we would take my grandson home on the weekends to visit his mom, he felt very important because he was there to take care of his mommy. He would push her wheelchair, bring her food and drink. And best of all he tried his best to entertain her.
It is hard not to fight to get better, when your favorite cheerleader is 4 and adorable. :)
I am praying for both of you. I know it is hard to have enough energy to take care of yourself not to mention daughter and grandchild. But most of the time our bodies kick into that mom mode and we get through it. Keep a journal of how she has improved from day one. Then on the days of depression and low spirits, you can remind her where she started and how far she has come. but through it all remember to pace yourself and take care of yourself.
