Gam has a Physical Therapist coming three times a week and an Occupational Therapist coming twice a week. They have taught her some exercises to strengthen her muscles, which her and I do two to three times a day. So she has been working out doing these exercises everyday and let me tell you, it is really working! The first day I was here she was so frail, and needed a lot of help doing things and getting around. Each day she is getting stronger, she can now walk all the way to the bathroom, get herself dressed, wash her hands, brush her teeth on her own, etc. At the end of each of our exercises I will tell her that we just have one more on that side or whatever and she will always say, "Okay, one more for good measure." She is becoming stronger and more like herself each day.

A lot of her nurses and helpers are a little overweight. Yesterday as we were finishing breakfast she said, "well I guess now we just wait for the fat lady to come."

| It is definitely showing that she is getting stronger, she also is now trying to do a lot more on her own and will wheel around to grab things or do things, which is a huge difference from a week ago. Before she would sit mainly in the same place and have me grab or do everything, but now that she is getting stronger she is trying to do more on her own. |
