Day 1 of Rehabilitation Therapy

(This is a fun family photo taken - June 26th)

The day started with an attempt at breakfast but deterred by the overriding nausea.

Her first rehabilitation meeting was with Ellen for speech therapy to work on cognitive skills such as memory and concentration.

She reached another milestone when the nurse removed her catheter.

During physical therapy she walked using her walking two laps around the nurses station! This is the most she has walked in three weeks! It was so exciting. We even made it to the PT gym and she did 10 minutes on the cardio leg press machine.

We were done by 12:00 with all of the hard work and after a trip to the cyber center we spent rest of the afternoon watching movies and relaxing. She went down early in the evening as the morning wiped her out.

We are still waiting for the results from the bone marrow. The delay of the test results is no surprise to us as everything in hospital land is late.
