Yesterday, things seemed to come crashing down on Joy. I would say she wept the hardest I have seen her weep since the accident.

Joy continues to charm the staff with her graciousness. We are now close enough to leaving that some staff are saying their goodbyes.

Today was a busy therapy day for Joy in PT, OT, and Speech. It’s clear everyone has their eyes on Joy’s discharge Thursday.

This evening I am pleased to announce that I believe our home is already to receive Joy and we are both looking forward to Thursday.

I got to spend much of the day with Mom today while Dad worked with a friend on getting the house ready.

Joy's OT and PT sessions spent significant time working on activities modeling work around the house and outside the home like shopping.

While the OT sight specialist cannot formally diagnose, we learned two very hard realities from their thorough assessment.

I know I have repeatedly asked for prayers for Joy’s aphasia/language center healing and Joy had yet another challenging day in that area.

With the continued eye on home, much of the therapy for the day focused on balance, stretching, and strengthening.

Today was a very busy day for Joy, she had a long therapy schedule from 9:00 in the morning until 3:30 in the afternoon!

In addition to her PT and speech therapy, one of the most exciting parts of the day was our work with the occupational therapist.
