Short Update & Announcement

This is just a short post …
Kat has involved with a couple of things that are very interesting. Every week she goes to pool therapy (on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Before climbing in the pool, she goes into the gym and works her leg either on the eliptic (sp?) walker or the stationary bike for [...]

4/29/2008 … ONE YEAR

On Tuesday April 29th, Kat hit the one year mark of her stroke. That day we revisited the events in our minds and verbalized some of our feelings of that day. Then reflected on the twelve months since that day … WOW! what a reflection. Kathy and Mike both saw a deepening of our relationship [...]

Going Down and Stuck Up

Admittedly, it has been a while since the last post here … sorry. Much has occured as Kat’s Journey is coming close to 1 year (April 29th). Once again, both OT and PT has been suspended as a few special factors are in place. Seemingly, the 2nd round of Botox treatments have had little effect [...]

Stuck Again!

On Tuesday, Kathy returned to DMHC for her next round of Botox injections. She has had some more therapy since then and she is doing very well. The PT has asked for her to walk around the house without her cane which she’s been doing. It takes a great deal of concentration but she does [...]

Stormy Days Continue

 Kat … growing stronger every day!
 Mike’s Parent’s home in Rumney
As I write we are under yet another threat of a 8-15 inch snow event. It has been snowy steady since around 2:30pm and it is 8pm right now. The road and walkway to our house is getting smaller and smaller. There are warnings of roofs [...]

Back to Basics

Yesterday, Kat returned to her pool therapy after she cancelled the day before due to an ice storm. And then after her hour in the pool she came home for about an hour and then climbed back in the van to head out for her ‘return to basics’… namely, Occupational Therapy. She hadn’t been to [...]

The Day After …

Shortly after we got up, and again school was delayed due to the storm, Kathy began to complain that she wasn’t feeling well. We checked her BP which was a little high and we began calling down to Dr. Cohen and ARNP Robin Clark down at Dartmouth. She finally got through to all. Robin felt [...]

She Got Shot!

…with Botox, that is! Yes, we made the long trip to Lebanon in a storm and with a vehicle that lost it’s heater!
The trip was long due to the storm and breakdowns. The Caravan needs new tires so it trudges along slipping and sliding until it hits sand or bare ground and moves along well. [...]

Good … no, GREAT NEWS!!!

In picking up today’s mail while Kathy was at her pool therapy session, we received the news we’ve been waiting for: the insurance company will cover Kat’s Botox treatments! Ours and your prayers are being answered! The great song by Chris Tomlin comes to mind, “How Great is our God”! Yes, our God is great [...]
