Hello everyone! I find myself struggling to get to the blog as I am not sure what to say anymore. JoLinda continues to improve, but slowly. Sometimes so slow I don't notice until I look back at where we were 2 months ago when I brought her home. Then I wonder what I haven't written about. She has now moved into her own room, just spent her 3rd night last night. It was not an easy adjustment for her, as her initiation, or lack of, has started again. Now she is enjoying her own room. Beau is now in our room on the floor on a matress. a week and a half ago she was put on new meds for antianxiety, and I think she is worse now. She continues to hold my arm or hand. Especially out of the house. She feels like everyone is stareing at her. And she continues to fight with everyone. Very low tolerance and doesn't understand jokes or playfulness at all. She fights with Jovi and Beau so much they do not want to be in the same room. However, yesterday was better. She is getting more helpful around the house. She helps with cooking, menu's, shopping, dishes, laundry, and a little vacuuming. Every so often, we see a glimpse of personality but we wish it was more. Socially she is very confused and unsure of herself. We are still trying to keep things rolling. It has been so good to read your comments on the blog. I find myself checking for those more than I blog myself. I appreciate your blogs, texts, phone calls and just the hello when you see us. That is what is keeping us going. Cathy, I cherish every word. Thank you! Matt, it was so good to see and read your blog. I hope everything is going well with your goals! (One of the wonderful aides who helped JoLinda in Rehab.) And thanks Ashley for continueing to follow JoLinda's progress. We appreciate you and your family. Tell everyone I love them. Diann it was good talking to you yesterday and I'm so glad Curtis is doing well. We love you all! Talk to you soon, Laurie
