Visit

Yesterday cousin Linda and I spent the morning with my SIL. So far this has been the best visit yet.
She hasn't spoken in months
, she doesn't use her right arm but she is writing and that's a huge improvement. 
It was really encouraging to see her communicate with us writing with her left hand. She isn't left handed but the fact that her brain can translate to her left hand after her stroke is amazing!
As usual, it's very hard to leave her and this time even harder as she wrote out "I want to come" to us. So sad. But I wanted to share this great picture of her. 

Have a wonderful weekend and may you all be blessed!
Take care, Brandie

We never know just what is in store for us from moment to moment. Thankfully she is improving and able to write enough to communicate. Continued progress and healing energy...
