Say a prayer for Lisa

I am not able to take the time to write all that has happened these past few days...Lisa has up and down moments. She gets teary eyed when she thinks about what she is not able to do anymore...she makes me cry too. However, we need a prayer for Tuesday around 2:00. Karen and I are going to take her to her apt so she can "perform" her abilities to the therapists. We hope that Lisa will be strong enough and have the endurance to do everything she needs to do to help her get out of the nursing home. She will need to:
  • make it down the hallway
  • be able to see her key into the door lock...she is having trouble with her sight
  • use her key to get in the apt
  • open her door and get through
  • transfer herself to her toilet
  • get into and out of her bed
  • open doors
  • and little things that I can't even think of right now.
This is such an important assessment for her. It gives the therapists a first hand look at Lisa's home and it will make Lisa very happy, and I am sure, extremely sad to be in her home. It will be emotional for her I am sure...but she most likely will not show that.  I will write more later. She is doing awesome! She really is!!!!!
