As part of her therapy, Char has been putting simple puzzles together. This was not an easy task for her but she is very determined to relearn this skill. Today we bought some new puzzles that are a little larger. It is such a joy to watch her as she discovers how the pieces fit together.

Also while shopping today, we purchased some oversized playing cards with the thought that these would be easier for her to read. Tonight for the first time, Char tried playing solitaire. We were both pleasantly surprised when she remembered how to play. Now she said she has something to do when she finds herself struggling with boredom.

Today was a great day for us. I am sure we will have many more. Char is making terrific progress with her recovery. Her memory is getting better and she is working hard to learn to read again. She has lots of friends and a wonderful support network.
