No wonder Kerrie doesn’t complain about going to Rehab.. her Physical Therapist is very cute 🙂 She’ll probably want to slap me for putting that on here, but hey.. whatever keeps her motivated works for me.

We started out with Occupational Therapy and they let me get involved. I had to hold out some foam balls and make her reach for them. Maybe I was holding them out a little too far, because she was really straining to get to some of them but she did it.

After an hour of OT we moved on to Speech Therapy… Kerrie worked on her spelling, word recall and picture recognition and got to play on a computer for almost the entire hour. Hmm.. she keeps saying it’s hard work, but she looked like she was having fun.

Then PT, with the Hottie Therapist… She was all smiles, even though he was working her butt off, but I suppose I would have been too. To my amazement, she stood up all on her own. He was barely holding onto the her lift belt. I’m sure it’s harder for her when she’s really tired, but if she can do it on her own then I am obviously helping her too much. The last thing she did was walk to the other side of the room and back.. twice. He had his hand on her back, slightly, for support.. and she was using her Hemi-Cane.. but she walked the room twice and looked pretty darn proud of herself when she was done. She should have been. I know I was damn proud of her.

Then we came home, had a nice litte lunch of stir-fry and Kerrie was ready for bed. Hmm.. stir-fry. No more of this pureed crap for Ker-Bear.

She’s in bed now, taking a nap, and I’m getting ready to clean the kitchen and do laundry. We’ll get up again later, and maybe I’ll get her on the computer and on to her web page.

Tomorrow is our day at Henry Ford, the MRI and hopefully the results of the bone marrow biopsy. Because of the cruddy weather, our dear mother is concerned about us driving down ourselves.. and having to get Kerrie in and out of the car in the rain.. so we are going to take the wheelchair van. If she continues to get stronger, this should be her last trip in that thing….

Kerrie’s calling…. better run to see what she needs. I’m at her beck and call and don’t want to fail in my duties 🙂
