Mom has started a weekly home visit schedule with the people taking care of her at Restore. They want her to start getting used to doing activities at home with me so that when she comes back home she won't refuse to do things like she did before. Hopefully this plan will work nicely so her transition home doesn't cost her any progress time.
This week she used her brand new shower for the first time, had lunch, planted some flowers, and then we looked at some picture albums. Here is a picture of the flowers she helped with:
It was too cold outside to do this activity outside, but maybe next week she can at least go outside and water them.
When we looked at the picture albums we went through a lot of old pictures. She remembered A LOT of the people in the pictures, and thanks to Grandma Gert we cold confirm that she was remembering correctly. It was neat. She also remembered that Dad told her he was having the house painted (from the Sunday before - 3 days!) but couldn't remember that she took a shower in her new shower about an hour before. Strange how she remembers some things easier than others.
