Hi Friends of Amazing Harriet.
I will try to keep you updated here as well as on Charles two blogs. Harriet has started her first day of therapy at RIO. Her days are full with OT, PT, and Speech therapy. She is eating a regular diet now. Between therapy sessions she is sleeping/resting. Physically She is doing pretty well, climbed four stairs twice, walking without a walker but with assistance standing by, etc. Cognitively she is making progress every day but has memory deficits, gets worn out with too much information, questions, etc.

Her sister will be here over the weekend, planning to leave Sunday.

I talked with Harriet's dr. Just now. He requests no visits this weekend. When friends do visit, do it one at a time for less than10 minutes with little conversation; too much information is overwhelming. We all want H to get the most out of her stay at RIO  and that means a lot of rest between therapies. Feel free to call or email me any time. pamelasmith1974@yahoo.com      5033801404
PS H really likes getting cards. She can look at them at her leisure and go as slowly as she likes.
