Getting her life back

Dawn has had an eventful week.  Gone are the days when you could stop by the rehab and expect she will be there.  She is truly getting her life back and was busy everyday this week.  In addition to her regular 5 hours of therapy sessions daily, her evenings have been occupied with visits from Chicago Fire soccer star, Diego Guiterrez (he will be at the benefit!).  Also, she went to dinner and a Cirque de Soleil show on Friday.  She still has her many visitors, but it is good to see that you can't always expect her to be there.

She is getting stronger everyday and she says she can feel her body coming back.  She even wants to ask if there is a gym she can go to so that she can do some more challenging exercises!  She hasn't walked on her leg prosthetics since the first week because she has some blisters on her legs that she has to allow to heal.  But, I changed her dressings on her legs last night and they are almost healed!  Her knee on her left leg is a bit of an issue because it keeps opening.  They may need to add more skin to it, but let's hope it just strengthens and heals on its own.

Dawn got another pass to spend the day away from the rehab.  She had a nice lunch with Scott and the girls came over to her apt in the evening.  Dawn looks as beautiful as ever- I'm sure you are all looking forward to seeing her smiling face at the benefit!
