Good news! Laura will more than likely be coming home tonight. The doctor's will be sending her home on lots of medicines of course and Greg, her husband, will be giving her a shot in her stomach every 12 hours for her blood thinner. Yay! Not for the shot, for her coming home! I'm so excited. She can't be left alone, since she doesn't know how to do a lot of simple tasks, and in case of a seizure or any other such medical problems.
Yesterday, Greg was able to take her on a ride in her car for a little bit. She told us how strange it was with the lights turning red and you'd have to sit there for a long time. It's weird to think some of the things she doesn't know or has lost the ability to do. She won't be driving for a long time, which is strange to think. She'll be going to the hospital 4-5 times a week now they said to continue working with a speech therapist and an occupational therapist, continuing to learn to read, remember words, and relearning basic everyday tasks and such.
The doctor's say she's a very rare case. In that the stroke and ulcerated colidis are not related, and it's rare that they happened at the same time. We're so thankful that things have turned out as well as they have, and that she is continuing to progress more and more every day. Thanks again for all your prayers in our behalf!!
