Mom's Update

Our first glorious week at home has been extremely busy which is why I haven't posted as often. Between unpacking 3 months of living at hospitals, working around the refinishing of the basement and getting Courtney settled in the week has flown by.
Each day has been an amazing gift of gratitude and joy. Courtney is full of gratitude for all the prayers she has received and continues to be appreciative of the simple joys in life.
We've had many visitors throughout the week as well as getting out of the house so that Courtney could do some shopping.
Nursing, physical, and occupational therapy have all been here to assess Courtney and begin in-home therapy. Courtney did so well with physical therapy that it was determined she is to high level for this service! As she told her friends "the physical therapist said she never wants to see me again!"
Each night Courtney reads to me to improve her speech and she's doing great. One of her favorites is a joke book that her friend Catherine gave to her. Often she's laughing hysterically before she gets to the punch line. Courtney continues to improve the flexibility in her elbow and wrist on her own - in just a week she's made remarkeable progress.

While it is great to read the updates on Courtney's progress I think everyone would agree that you are as you always been during this process focused on what is important which is Courtney and your family. Keep up the good work Courtney.
