I have been "called out" for not posting on this blog and I would like to apologize. To be honest, there really just hasn't been much to report and I have to admit that I think that's a good thing! Mom is doing so well! She started physical therapy a few weeks ago at a different facility. She is so pleased with her therapist and is feeling more and more confident every day. She is working on her balance and control and still uses a cane. This past weekend, she was able to attend an annual event at Brenau College (her alma mater) where she reunited with several sorority sisters and friends...and even got her picture in the local paper. :) She saw her neurologist Tuesday and was once again encouraged by the appointment. I misunderstood something before...she continues to be on steroids along with the new drug, Methotrexate. However, over time, they will be decreasing the steroid dosage while increasing the other's dosage. The doctor told Mom that the swelling in her face, due to the steroids, should go down as they decrease her dosage. I was so proud of Mom's outlook as she told me "I don't mind if my face is full as long as I don't have any more seizures." She truly has had the best attitude through all of this. She is eating well, drinking only water and making every effort to do her physical therapy exercises just as she is instructed. I am looking forward to her visiting me soon so we can go to a Mother's Day Luncheon at my church. There will be so many people there that have prayed for her and will be happy to see her for the "walking miracle" that she is.
