From Rick & Mary

In Christ alone we stand.

Thursday:  By God's tender mercies, Isabel continues to meet and/or exceed the therapist's activities and expectations.  They are exposing her to a lot of different tasks and exercises all of which we take for granted (e.g. rolling back on forth laying down, raising her legs; writing her name; pulling off and putting on socks; rubbing lotion on her own arms; batting a balloon; repeating words like: coke, ancient, oboe, got...etc.)  Even with all of this, these are just tiny steps towards full recovery, but this is great progress.

I admit I am impatient.  But I wait upon the Lord for His timing and will to be done, not mine.

Friday:
  • Isabel passed the swallowing test...so she can eat real food!  Yeah!  It does need to be pureed though.
  • Working with Isabel, Lisa (her physical therapist) said: "Isabel, you are inspirational!" 
  • Isabel continues to do her best and works really hard.
Saturday:  Isabel has no formal therapy session today.

Prayers:
  • Isabel would get the rest & sleep she needs each night.
  • She would be alert for her therapy sessions.
  • She would develop an appetite.
Rick
