OVERDUE - REPORT ON TAMI. . . .

Sorry we haven't posted for so long. It has been a whirlwind since Tami got home. Assisting Tami, scheduling multiple appointments, making arrangements for child care during appointments, routine household duties such as laundry, meal prep, potty training. . .are things Teresa does every day. Albert's family has continued to help with the children and they are so loved for that. I'm nominating Teresa and Aunt Monica for 'Angel of the Year awards.

Albert and the girls are so happy to have her home and she is very happy to be there. She got to go to Uncle Dave's birthday party last week.

Tami fell about a week after returning home. It was a one-step fall, but it bruised her fragile little body. Earlier that same day two of the therapists at the hospital asked her if she had fallen and they were stunned that she had not. I guess it's inevitable. She has been examined and x-rayed and thankfully nothing was broken, but it has been very painful and she can't put weight on her left leg, so the walking therapy has taken a set-back.

She has met her Neurologist, Hemotologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist and speech therapist. She still has to meet with her (new) family physician. There is SO much to do.

Tami was hoping to get off shots, but must continue for now. I'll have Teresa go more into that. The Hemotologist has given them new information about the blood disorder (clotting factor) that probably caused the stroke (something to do with Protein S, which I have never heard of). I will have 'Dr. Teresa' write about that soon. She 'gets' the medical jargon.

Please don't give up on the blog. . .we will continue to post, but probably not as often. We often think of you all and mention we need to 'blog' . . . but 'Life' has us all very busy.

I know she would appreciate cards, or text messages. We are so grateful for your continued prayers and support. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
