I have been waking up at four every morning since mom moved in, it's like having a new baby. Today I fell back to sleep until 8:30. When I checked on mom, her blankets were off and she said she was ready to go outside. I wheeled her up to the table and went to the kitchen to prepare her breakfast. Gemma was at the table eating cereal and mom reached over, grabbed gemma's spoon and stuck it in her own mouth! 

I'm bummed now that I didn't think to take a picture.

The physical therapist came today and mom did great. She is using her right hand to scratch an itch or help pull herself up to her walker. When I brushed mom's teeth, her right hand followed along, going through all the motions of brushing her own teeth, just inches from her mouth. There is still enough tone left that the therapist is confident mom will regain more strength and control in her right side.

Kathy and her family visited and again I forgot to take photos. Mom was alert and chatty for most of the visit and she busted me for failing to understand how much chocolate she requires.
