Big Mama's Home

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Everything has been kinda crazy lately. Anyway...as most of you know, Big Mama is home now. She came home for good on January 12th. She started therapy at White County Medical Center a couple weeks ago and is doing well. She goes 3 days a week for 3 hours at a time. She seems to like it & loves the therapist that are working with her. She did have a minor set back last week. She began having dizzy spells and becoming more confused. We took her to Dr. Faith and then she had another MRI. The MRI looks good and her dizziness is getting better. Not sure what caused it, we just keep praying it will resolve. Big Mama still has a long recovery ahead of her. Her eyesight is she not up to par and she still gets confused about what things are sometimes. Dates, time & numbers mean nothing to her right now. But the doctors have explained that is normal considering where her bleed was located. She can fool ya though. Big Mama is really good at hiding her deficits, at least for a little while! The important thing is that she is home & doing well. Thank you all for your continued prayers!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Big Mama got to come home again. This time Papa O picked her up on Saturday (their anniversary was Friday) and she got to stay until Wednesday morning. While home this time she got to go to a movie & out to eat with some friends. We had our family "thing" at Big Mama & Papa O's house on New Years day. Lots of good food & family fun. She really enjoyed herself. I think she would like it if we had days like that everyday with a house full of family (lots of kids), friends & good food! Her only complaint was having to get up so early on Wednesday to go back to Timber Ridge. She did very well going back though, no crying or whining! We still don't have the reports of the MRI or Arteriogram , but when we do I will update again. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season & a blessed new year to come!
