Since my last post I was able to visit my son and his family for eight days about two weeks ago.
I couldn’t be more pleased at the progress my DIL has made since I saw her eight weeks before.
She’s calmer, bright, engaging, and almost back to the beautiful girl my son married. Without fail she takes her meds. At least three or four mornings a week she goes to yoga at Lifetime Fitness and stops for a freshly made acai bowl on her way home. She continues to eat healthy and organic. Her weekly sessions with a therapist are very helpful and she is encouraged by them.
One of her favorite things to do is to spend time in her newly planted organic garden. It’s starting to fill in and looks like a prairie full of flowers.
About twice a week she goes for massages. She’s struggling a bit with anxiety and this is helpful for that also.
This week she started back to work remotely and next week she’ll make the transition to the office. I’m not sure this is her dream job, although it’s an executive position with a well-known, world-wide company. But she knows she’s has options.
My son has his wife back and my grandchildren have their mom back. I continue to send her words of encouragement and love several times a week.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure this day would ever come…but it has…and my prayers have been answered.
