Today mom had Aqua therapy again. She does a lot of different exercises in the pool. Walking is difficult because the left foot does not move much and gets in the way. So the thereapist has her doing a lot of things to help retrain those muscles to lift the foot. It is good to see her get the kind of movement in the pool that she is unable to do out of the water. She can pull herself up straight to a stand so easily in the water. The therapist said something about changing to 3 times a week, so hopefully that will happen soon. Next week she will go at 11 so the therapist won't have to cut her lesson short.
The only thing that is difficult to see is how thin mom is. She needs so much to be eating more to put on some weight. I went to the store on the way home to get her some whey protein and found her some all natural protein bars. I also purchased a couple over the counter meds to help with the bloating and digestive issues. I will take them this afternoon.
