30 July 2007

Mom did therapy today – sort of. The therapists, while trained professionals in physical therapy, need an advanced degree to outsmart mom. She learned very quickly that resisting therapy was fruitless. Therapists are trained to be persistent. So, mom decided to use a more passive approach. She simply “fell asleep.” Each time the therapist would visit and begin therapy, mom would slip into a narcoleptic slumber. She was so proud of herself tonight when Lisa told on her. She just gave that wry smile that we love so much.

Another therapy assignment was to identify and cross out all of the “H”s on a matrix of letters. Of course mom started by crossing out all of the “H”s in the instructions. She thought the assignment was soooo silly. What a gal.

Mom is preparing for our meeting with the doctors tomorrow. Her fight is slowly coming back.

Please keep praying. Tomorrow, please pray specifically that we will be guided to know the Lord’s will regarding mom’s treatment and recovery.

The Christensens

It's great news to hear that she has her sense of humor in tact. That shows an appreciation and zest for life. We pray fervently for your continued strength and comfort. Adel is going to send you something special in the next e-mail.
