This will be another week of physical, occupational and recreational therapy for Trish. She continues to hone the physical skills that will help her be more independent when she returns home.
The efforts by the doctors are also continuing to deal with the various accident related internal issues. These continue to frustrate Trish and make the PT work even tougher.
Here she is working with Mellisa, her PT, on making the move from her chair to the bed which has been raised above her. This more advanced transfer skill will be needed for her to "pop-over" from her chair into the chair on the stair lift she and Scott hope to buy. This stair lift, while very expensive and not covered by insurance, will be the key for Trish to live her life both down and upstairs in their new home.
Today Trish will be going out to lunch with the other rehab patients as the RT staff continues to work with the gang to "get out and about" from the hospital.
More later this week ...

Hey Trish, I left you a comment on Saturday, July 7th. I just want to make sure that you go back and see it. I guess I didn't realize I was leaving it on the wrong day.
Love, Pam Baker

Hi Trish,
I found out about the accident and had been wondering and worried about how you were doing. I can't tell you how good it was to see your smiling face when I opened to "Trish's Place". I can't even imagine all the challenges you have faced but you of all people have the spirit and determination to do it. You have been and will continue to be in our prayers. By the way, congratulations on your wedding, beautiful picture. Wow, your boys sure are getting big! Thanks to your Dad, he has done an amazing job with this page.
Love,

Trish,
I know it's been a long time, but I just wanted to pass on some thoughts and prayers your way. Jen Jo told me about what happened and shared your website with me. Your Dad has done a great job with it. It was good to read about all the remarkable progress you have made, which I have no doubt, will only continue. Your spirit and determination are not only amazing but admirable. And that awesome smile of yours was great to see in the pictures! You have a beautiful family and I wish you all the best.
Love,
