Not a lot to update on either one - except they are both doing well.
Lucy continues to just excel in her recovery. The only residual issues at this point are her right foot - which still doesn't work completely. She can push off with it, but can't pull it up or more her toes. Every now and then we get a slight movement, and get very excited. She has a brace for when she is sleeping, or in bed for long periods, and just got a walking brace for when she is doing therapy or walking around. She is getting better and better at getting her coordination and balance back to what they were. She is working in therapy on stairs a lot, since we have a multi-level home with no bathroom on the main level - as well as the fact that it requires stairs to get into the house. Her spirits are up, and she isn't hating life here anymore. I almost think she will miss it when we go! The team meets tomorrow to let us know what our release date is. The doctor said she is walking so well - even "go home well" is what he said. The other issue is her sodium levels. If you want to understand that better - look up SIADH on the Internet. It explains the syndrome better than I ever could.
Mom is doing well with Tanya and Sean. She is getting back on schedule with her regular doctor appointments, and getting her liver issues taken care of. They are thinking she has liver cancer, and the oncologist has referred her to a surgeon in San Francisco (we can't escape that city). Today they meet with her liver doctor, and I will update more tomorrow, when I have the info from that appointment, as well as Lucy's release date.
