When I arrived at the hospital today, she was just dozing off, and said she was planning on sleeping for a little while. She told me that she was tired, and that although she feels like she's made a lot of progress this week, she also feels like she may have hit the GBS wall, and now she needs to rest.
She really has made a lot of progress this week. She's definitely stronger in her upper body than she has been, and she even practiced a few transfers from her wheelchair to the work out benches in the gym. She still needs a lot of help, but each day she can do more for herself.
We're still looking forward to her possible return home in the next three weeks, and hoping that we'll have the resilience to navigate yet another major transition. Honestly, I can't wait for her to come home no matter how much extra work that will be for a while.
We'll probably really need all of your help and encouragement through that transition, but we'll have a better idea of what that help might look like in the next couple of weeks, so I'll keep you up to date.
Tonight we'll be relaxing and having something of a date night, watching a movie and eating some popcorn!
