Maggie Rudy Mon 7/2/18

2:30 pm. Some text messages from Laura today:

"Ok Maggie put on her socks, brushed her teeth (with her weak hand),  washed her face, danced to the chair with only one person for support, and pushed herself back in the chair.  Good day so far." - this from 9:45 this morning. Then this from around 11:

"She keeps trying to get out of the chair to walk to the sunroom.  She thinks she is strong enough 😁  Good mindset today.  She is with PT now."

A few minutes later: "Drum roll.......  Maggie just walked to the sun room from her room with a walker!!!!!!!"  That's about 150 feet!  One more:

"Looks like she is headed to rehab today.  Got our first choice we think.  Fingers crossed!!!!!!" This would be UM Kernan Rehabilitation. We don't yet know for sure, but this is good news!

6:30 pm. We did not make the trip to Kernan today, but remain hopeful for tomorrow morning.

7:30 pm. I forgot to mention that some of Maggie's ICU nurses stopped in today to check on her - very emotional. Maggie's a rock star!  (She gets that from her mother...)
