Martha continues to make progress, though it will obviously be slow going. She actually walked about 90 feet today, though it was inadvertent -- the physical therapist asked her to walk a certain direction, intending for her to go only about ten feet, but she thought she was supposed to walk all the way back to her room, so she walked until she needed to sit down. Sadly, Martha seemed slightly "down in the dumps," too, so it took a lot of distraction and encouragement to keep her going. She has had a headache and nausea that keeps her from wanting to do her rehab exercises. Needless to say, she was really tired most of today and slept a lot when she wasn't with the therapists. Fortunately Tasha and Tim were able to help her eat today. Tomorrow will be their "day off" to get other business done.

Here in our part of Conway, Amanda had a really good day today, and we're hopeful the trend will continue!
