Shar has been making slow
progress in all her therapies. In OT, they work on self-care tasks like
bathing and dressing, whereas PT is working on building her strength. In
PT they have her working on standing up unassisted and taking steps.
Speech therapy works on identifying pictures, answering questions and
overseeing her eating. They make sure she eats safely by taking small
bites and chewing thoroughly. They also emphasize taking a sip of drink
after a few bites. Even though she gets exhausted, Shar has been doing a
good job following all instructions and working hard.
There have been questions about
mailing a card to Shar. Since we don't know how good they are with
distributing mail, if you do want to send a card it may be best to send it to
her house and then Jerry can bring them in for her. He has been visiting
her every day and staying for several hours.
