Well, Arla is “jumping” ahead quickly. While we do not know the exact date she will move to rehab, she has improved enough and made enough progress with her therapy to cause her neurology team to recommend intensive inpatient therapy. Two days ago, the recommendation was a less intensive therapy at a skill nursing rehabiliation center. So after two days of planning and investigating skilled nursing rehabilitation, Arla runs us in another direction. Even though we don’t mean it, we feel like shouting, “Hey, Mom, slow down!” And yes, we know the advances will become slower as the rehab progresses.
Like we said before, this is a process. Praise God for options; praise God for the medical advances we have access to; praise God for the years of skilled training the medical professionals have done; praise God for his grace and love; praise God for prayer; praise God for patience and love; and praise God for the knowledge and gifts he has given each of us in our lifetime.
Consider it pure joy! 
That’s great. Praise God. She is a determined woman. I thank God for her.
Yes! Praise the lord. My aunt Arla has the sweetest smile. When I was up at the hospital last evening with my sister Darla, we were jumping with joy when the nurse entered the room and said that Arla was going to be moved to another room.
We waited until Arla was moved to the new room,to make sure she had her glasses and other personal items moved with her. Every move is another step as for Arla getting out of the hospital and into rehab. Determination and all the love she has in her heart, and those who love her will get her through this. We all learn from others. Sometimes we have to have a wake-up call in order to understand why these unfortunate things happen in our lives. Keep the prayers coming.
Arla we have been following your updates on line. We keep you and Harold in our prayers as well a our church prayer chain.
Please do what the Doctors say.
Ron, Ruth, and Kayla Staley
