Michele & Sherry Update Page

Therapy has being going good for Michele she is now standing and taking a step or two with the walker; sitting on the side of the bed unattended and rebuilding the strength in her left hand and arm. Thursday she will work on bathing and Friday dressing her self.
The trip to Northwestern went well. Michele saw all the doctors and nurses in the clinic. There were a few damp (happy) eyes noted as everyone encouraged Michele to keep up the good fight as she has. The kidneys and liver are working "as good as a 6 month old" per her surgeon. The lab reports show her kidneys are working more than 2 times better then Mom's.
The staff at RML has recommended moving Michele to RIC for her acute therapy. She just needs to wait for a bed to become available. With the long weekend coming it will probably be Tuesday before she moves. The RML therapists guesstimate that Michele will need about 3 more weeks of therapy there before she makes it back to Lombard.
