what a change

Well looks like when I updated about Cosima driving soon she beat me to the punch. When Sam flew in on Friday to visit Cosima was in the driver's seat. Thelma was with her and she hasn't driven alone yet but am sure that will be happening quickly.

Sam was so impressed with her progress and how well she is doing and so soon. Already she is at where the doctors said she would be at the 1 year mark.

Her intense physical therapy on her arms is paying off and she is regaining her mobility and strength.

Cosima and Sam walked for about 3 1/2 to 4 miles 1 day in various places. She was able to get up and over rocks and walk on some very uneven ground. Her pace may still be slow but being able to get in that many miles in 1 day is impressive though she did pay for it a bit with some soreness the next day.

They went to the cabin to pick up some painting supplies and were able to sit by the stream drinking tea together.

It was a great weekend and the weather even hit 70 degrees on Sunday though the day before it snowed. Sam came home yesterday excited about his mom's tremendous progress. Even better was how positive she is about continuing to recover and prove those doctors wrong with their estimates of how long it will take her to get to the next stage. Once again she is surpassing every one's expectations but knowing her and how determined she is we shouldn't be surprised.
