We thank each of you so much for your concern, prayers and signs of support this past week. Lin (mom) improves a little each day and is up and moving under her own power. Speech therapy continues to be the primary focus and, as frustrating as it is, we recognize it will take time for her to recover her gift of words!
The plan now is for her to continue at least another week of in-patient rehabilitation at Miller-Dwan. Mom wants to be back home at Rockwood as soon as possible, and Dad would second that, but everyone acknowledges that the best thing for her now is as much therapy as possible. When it is time to get back home, there will be numerous return trips to Duluth for therapy and follow-ups. Those of you closest to Rockwood and are able can be a huge help at that time. Looking a few more weeks down the road, we are all upbeat about the prognosis and recovery associated with a corrective surgery to widen her carotid artery to prevent this from recurring again.
Please continue to keep Mom and Dad in your prayers. It is truly felt and appreciated!
