Acute Stroke Rehab Starts Now

Today my mother transferred from the hospital to acute rehab. She will be doing 3-5 hours of occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy each day for the next two weeks.
My sister and I are trying to figure out how to best help my parents once she leaves rehab. Wish us well. Thank you for your love, support and prayers.

Mom in stroke rehab. Dad misses mom. All concerned. Been working in crisis intervention overdrive to take care of business. My sister and our husbands are helping out. All hands on deck.

Actually, needing a break. Luckily, my sister and I got reserves (husbands) helping us out with our parents today. I plan to go home and take Sunday as a day of rest.

My mother may never fully recover, but I’m sure she will recover somewhat. She has much to offer in either case. Thank you for sharing your experience with your grandfather. God bless you, too.

You’re most welcome Kit. Saw my Grandfather go thru a stroke when I was a teenager. He wasn’t the same after… yet he was still full of life and courage… God richly bless you and yours Kitt!

Continued prayers for strength and peace for you and your family. You’ll have to have a very serious talk with your parents about what to do after rehab.

Thank you, Vic.
Kitt O'Malley November 18, 2015 at 6:39 pm

Thank you. Home health care wouldn’t work for my parents. They live in a three-story house that is not senior friendly. They both are at high risk for falls.
Kitt O'Malley November 18, 2015 at 6:37 pm

Thank you so much, Georgette.
