A Change of Scenery
Yesterday afternoon Mom was transferred to Sutter Auburn Faith hospital where she will begin acute rehabilitation. We are all really excited about this new chapter in Mom's recovery process. Mom doesn't seem quite as excited as we are, judging from the fact that she slept soundly through the entire transfer process: changing from the hospital gown into sweatpants and a T-shirt (her first time in 'real' clothes in 6.5 weeks!), being loaded onto a gurney, an ambulance ride from Roseville to Auburn, and then the transfer into her new room (acute rehab room 5). Mom hadn't slept well the previous night, and she was just exhausted. Today she began her rehab evaluations, and she'll begin her regular therapy schedule next Tuesday.
This past Wednesday, Mom began making slight movements with her left hand! She can lift her index finger and squeeze it together with her thumb. Dad says that this is how she began moving on the right side of her body; a little bit at a time. Right now, she can squeeze her stuffed penguin's foot with her thumb and finger. We are all hoping this is just the beginning of recovery of motion on her left side.

Glad the transfer went well and especially that Sandy is starting to move her left side. That is certainly an answer to prayer.
Take care and God Bless,

Hello Palmer Family,
Know that we continue to pray for Sandy and praise God for her continued improvements. We pray that God will continue to provide her diligence during this journey of journeys and that He breathe His strength into her. Sandy can do all things through Christ and we thank the Holy Spirit for inspiration He gives Sandy on a daily basis and to ask that He continue to bless her with new accomplishments each day.
Hugs, Maris
