End of the third week of treatment

It's been a slow week here in New Delhi, no real news to report other than it's getting hot over here with temps hovering in the  100-104 range in the day, but cooling off to around 75 at night. Next week it's supposed to get closer to 110 and I am told that it gets to around 115 in May.  I was under the mistaken impression that it would be hot and humid here, but I was pleasantly surprised at how dry it is. On the other hand something that was not such a nice surprise is the wind combined with a very fine airborne sand.  Nothing's better than preparing for dinner with a nice cool shower, putting on clean clothes  and walking out the front door and getting  hit with a hot blast of grit in the face, then feeling the dust making its way between one's neck  and shirt.  

Jill is in good spirits, diligently does her work and is a favorite face around the clinic.  Several  times a week she does have her  low moments that  last for only a few minutes.  We get out of the clinic daily and go to the market where she continues to enjoy a eating brownie. It isn't easy for me to asses her strength and balance as they seem to vary daily but her PT does think she is getting stronger and has her on a treadmill.  Next week the pace picks up a little, she goes to the other hospital for a three day "procedure" starting on Monday  and they plan to double  the cognitive therapy when she gets back to the clinic.

I have added more photos and some YouTube videos.   For those that don't watch YouTube videos  much, to avoid the start stop due to slow download speeds, I just turn the volume down and let them run through once, then play the video again and they play through without stopping.

  1. It's wonderful to be able to read these updates and see the slideshow. Has the 3 day procedure started yet?

    It's pretty cold in the Bay Area. The girls and I bike to school in the mornings in multiple layers and gloves.

    There was a bad case of stomach flu going around. Both Sitara and I got it. Now of course we're worried about N1H1.

    We miss you guys. You're in our thoughts.
    Love,
    Dilshad.
