Hi everyone. Update on L.
For the past few weeks she has had difficulty in speaking. This has been largely due to dehydration as a result of other health issues. Today, there was a very marked improvement in her quality of speech. I noticed it first time when speaking to her on the phone this morning and even more when I visited her. This is a tremendous improvement as communication previously was difficult.
With Physiotherapy help, she has walked a little more; still only a short distance but again, it is an improvement, and she is able to move her left arm a little more now.
I think she will be in the hospital for some weeks yet but there are signs of improvement.
Removing the code from the phone so she can more easily unlock it has been a complete success, as has the power bank I purchased for her. I doubt I'll have more to report for a few days as the weekend is here.

@Rishit Thank you. Lulu is my wife who recently had a serious fall and broke a bone in her shoulder. She also has many other health difficulties. Thank you for your good wishes.

@brian_hartgen It's good that there have been improvements. I am so glad! also, it's great that the power bank and the removal of the passcode from the phone helped as much as it did. Hopefully she'll be able to come home soon.
