Grandma and Grandpa have been staying in Lynden since yesterday, and its been a wonderful two days having them with us. Mom has been doing things at home that she always did before, not nearly everything she did before, but normal lifestyle is slowly returning. Mealtimes are once again restored to normal, Dad is cooking still, I dont think it will be long before she takes over in that capacity! She has fantastic balance, and even moves with more grace than before, I think its because she is focusing so hard to make the right movements. 

At bible time she reads 4 verses for, then she pass's the baton to the kids an they all take turns reading, she can read as fast as ever before if she does not have read orally, but she reads slowly when she has to orally read to people. You can pray specifically for her speech that she would be able to speak her thoughts quickly and freely. One great breakthrough, she raised her voice at me! Therapist had been trying to get her to raise her voice, because her volume level was low, she couldn't do it for them. Once she made it home, she had no trouble at all with that!
