We would like to celebrate Shirley, who has made tremendous progress since coming to Kewaunee Health Services for care.
When she arrived, Shirley had very little movement below her neck. Shirleyβs environment had to be adapted using a sensor call light since her only movement was a flicker of her hand. Our entire team was diligent and attentive to Shirley - she was never without assistance when needed, through frequent checks, increased supervision, and other measures. Shirley graduated from her sensor call light with determination, strength, pain, tears, and triumph.
The next accomplishment was using a soft touch call pad. Without a doubt, Shirley took on a newfound independence before our eyes, such as taking her first bite on her own. Today, we got to hug Shirley as she was standing! What a blessing - a blessing that we all had no idea how much we needed.
We would like to celebrate one more individual, who is far too modest for pictures, her devoted husband Joe. We could not have done it without him. Joe is Shirley's biggest supporter, and ours too.
Our entire team is thankful for the support, care, humor, and joy, just to name a few, that Joe and Shirley bring to our facility. β€
