July 4th

Although our July 4th was a little non-traditional this year, we had reason to celebrate. Mom spent her first full day of inpatient rehabilitation on the 4th and had assessments by three therapists.

The rehab floor boasts a fabulous view of our city's fireworks show. Unfortunately, she faded and went to sleep about 30 minutes before the show started. We are planning to catch the show next year and celebrate a year of recovery.

Meanwhile, the trio were thrilled because their cousins were in town for a visit. Skip wrangled everyone into the car for a fun visit. Skip and his parents have been phenomenal about keeping the trio's schedules and routines as normal as possible. I miss everyone, of course, but am always happy to see them having fun.
