A day in the life of Eman

10am: Her day begins. 11am: Eman eats a healthy breakfast unassisted.

2pm: Eman spends some time relaxing by watching television, conversing with her younger sister or talking to her psychologist if she drops by to check on her. 4pm: Lunch is served. 5pm: More physiotherapy is offered for an hour or so, and Eman follows up on her morning’s progress.

8pm: Dinner is served after Eman has had some more time to relax.

11pm: Eman gets ready to retire for the night.
