Permission Granted: Grandma is on the Move!

Permission Granted: Grandma is on the Move! 🏃‍♀️❤️

Big news, y’all — Grandma had visits from both the Occupational Therapist and the Physical Therapist today, and they’ve officially kicked off her in-home therapy plan! They gave her a set of exercises to start rebuilding strength in her leg, and let me tell you… she took that seriously.

And now for the jaw-drop moment…

Y’ALL. Apparently, all this woman needed was permission to do things on her own!

Multiple times a day, I’ve been lifting her from her chair to her bed… from the bed to the bathroom… from the bathroom back to the chair. Today, the PT told her she needs to walk a lap around the living room every two hours.

So I go to check on her, and what do I see?

She’s up and walking around all by herself!

No call for help. No assistance needed. This woman who has been leaning on me to move around suddenly decided, “I got this.” 😄

She amazes me every single day.

Therapy & Nursing Plan

PT & OT will visit twice a week to continue helping her gain strength and independence.
She will also have a nurse visit once a week to monitor her vitals and overall health.

It finally feels like we’re gaining real momentum 💪

Oncology Update: Aranesp Injection Delay

I’m currently working to transfer Grandma’s records from the Hawkinsville Oncology office to the one in Griffin (both under the Georgia Cancer Centers with Northside Hospital).

The only issue is… her doctor has been out for two weeks and we can’t complete the transfer until she returns. Grandma missed her Aranesp injection last Tuesday, and I’m hoping we can get her into the Griffin location before that missed dose starts affecting her energy.

She’s making such great progress, and I’d really hate to see her lose that momentum.

A Bright Spot – Cards, Letters & Love 💌

Your cards, notes, and letters have been rolling in — and let me just say, they light her up.

Every time I bring in the mail, she grins from ear to ear. Not only does she read every word, she also starts telling me stories about the sender. It’s such a beautiful way to see how deeply rooted her connections are with all of you.

Sunday School Video Call 🖥️✨

This past Sunday, Grandma had a video call with her Sunday school class, and it absolutely made her week.

A huge thank you to Cricket for organizing it! She was so excited to see her people — seeing familiar faces, hearing voices she loves — it meant the world to her.

She continues to watch her church service online every Sunday morning, but this was a whole new level of special. Seeing all of her classmates and chatting with them lifted her spirits in such a meaningful way.

Thank you all again for loving Grandma so well.

She’s not just healing — she’s thriving with your prayers, encouragement, and constant support.

Until next time,

Jamie 💖
