Just moving along

As I said in the last post things have been progressing.  It has been to hard to compartmentalize to understand which part of her body is bringing her pain so the question we have been asked, understandibly, is 'are her headaches gone'.  It has been a tricky question to answer.  Right now her pain is just there and it could be just from the surgery, it could be a little from the surgery and a lot from her concussion, it could be equal parts of all factors....we just don't know.

What we do know is that yet again she feels better today than yesterday, and better yesterday than the day before.  I think it is too hard for us emotionally to speculate if this was the answer that she has been seeking.  So right now our focus is getting better each day. 

We still have been walking.  Today we reached the new max of two blocks out and two back (plus the stairs in our appartment).  I think it has been very good. Each day walking is a little easier and will probably start to translate into a little farther. 

All I can say is that she is amazing (as you all know) and I am just so happy to see her getting better by the day!!

  9. I'm thinking about you both. Emily and I are always talking about having a tea and cardigans get-together... tell her I said that has to happen soon. As soon as she feels up to it. Perhaps you and Kyle can also don some nice sweaters? ;)
