Therapy Starts

Mom started OT therapy with Audrey at 1pm. She did great. Audrey was really impressed. But then she wanted Mom to walk to the bathroom and that is where therapy came to an abrupt end. Mom became dizzy and a wave of nausea hit her like a freight train ... so back into bed she went. She got pale and had to rest for a good long time. This is a normal reaction when you stand up after being in bed for such a long time. So during Mom's afternoon therapy session they really took it slow. She only walked about 6 steps then she went for a ride in her wheelchair with Dad pushing. She was able to nap after that but it was a really hard day. The good news is that we get to sleep in tomorrow ... versus our 4:30am wake up call this morning!
