Assessments and opinions.
I spoke with my dad today about my mom. He had a conversation with the doctor earlier this week discussing her recovery. The doctor related that my mom wasn’t making as much progress as she had expected. Physically, mom is doing well and is expected to be able walk out of the hospital at some point, with assistance of course. Mentally, it’s apparently a different story. The people involved with her assessment and therapy seem to think that she should have recovered more by this point. She should be doing more of this and less of that. I really don’t know what to think. Every time I see my mom, I can see progress. I can see transition from before to after. I can see a little bit more of her personality sneaking out. Maybe I’m not looking in the right places or for the same things that the trained professionals are. Maybe I don’t need to. My mom has surprised us more than once over the past couple of months. She’s bound to do it again.
