The road to recovery is filled with lots of twists and turns, highs and lows. Today Lisa was moved to the Hurstbourne Care Center (on Stonybrook, off Taylorsville Rd.) I am not sure how to classify today. It was a twist that we haven't experienced before, Lisa not being completely independent. While it was a high for us that she was well enough to be discharged from the hospital, it was a low for Lisa that she didn't get to go home.
She has a roomate, Joan. Her side of the room is completely fixed up - she has 'nested,' complete with flat screen tv, mini fridge, etc. Mom is going to watch Graylen tomorrow while Jen and I give her side of the room some personality and home-like touches. We don't want to give her the sense that it is her new home, just some things that will make it easier to be there.
We will know more tomorrow about how long she might need to be there. Please pray that she will not be discouraged, her therapy tomorrow will give her hope of getting stronger and healthier.
Thanks again for praying for her!

Titi - Was that today that you moved in there? I'll be praying that it feels more like home. You are so good at decorating- Lisa's lucky to have you all for sisters. Love!
carree --- actually she moved on wed. I started that blog entry on tuesday - so that's why the date is like that. Jen and I are decorating this afternoon. :-)
Tina-Would it be ok to visit, Lisa? I have been reading about her progress and would like to visit her at the rehab center. Please check with Pam and let me know of any visitation restrictions. I would love to see her, but don't to upset anyone. Just let me know. Thanks, Barbara
Hey, hey, Carree! She is even twice (maybe more) as lucky to have me as her Mom! And I can decorate. But the Sisters Two did everything and by the time I was able to go up there I asked them what I needed to go get for her.
The answer: a lightbulb.
They'll do anything to make me look bad.
Thank all of you for your concern and prayers. We need all the prayers we can get. We can't give up yet. :-) Pam Edelen (mother of the Sisters 3).
