I watched as Carol walked along the kitchen counter in our kitchen over to the pantry door and do the most amazing job of figuring out what to hold onto as she reached her goal of being able to stand in front of the pantry door to work on improving her posture. That done, the next question put to her by the Physical Therapist was how are you going to get back to your chair? Carol stepped from in front of the door across to the chair where usually sit at the kitchen table and walked her way around the table and took her seat. Her final exercise was to walk from the kitchen using a quad cane going to the foot of the stairs where with only cues the therapist helped her negotiate going up 6 steps on our stairway and then back down! Then came the celebration opening a Toblerone candy she had received on her recent birthday. A regular table knife was brought to the table and to my amazement she picked up the knife with her recovering right hand and immediately worked on cutting a piece of the candy. It was not planned or even thought of: her brain just did things naturally! At breakfast this morning she will have fresh (organic) strawberries, fresh cut Mango and fresh blueberries along with whatever the cook can rustle up. :) Carol says her progress can only be attributed to God. Amen!
