Confused and Homesick

Just when things seem to be going well for Fran, she then has a week like this past. Her therapy is going as well as can be expected. When she is thinking clearly she makes progress. When she is confused she goes back a few steps. There have been more confused times than lucid this past week. The doctor is making a few changes in her medications along with trying a different antibiotic for her chronic infections. We are hoping for a better week for her.

She has shown signs of homesickness. She says she wants to go home to Virginia, she misses her friends terribly. She lights up when she receives letters and cards from her family and friends. She spoke to her daughter Anita and good friend Aldeen Wenger, this past weekend, and just hearing their voices seemed to perk her up.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and hopefully she will have a better week.

More later...

This was Fran on her 75th birthday.
What a difference 9 years can make.
