She's going to read the blog today!

I just got off the phone with my mother! She is now in a private room (435) and said she has a dream team taking care of her. They have started her on physical therapy and are helping her a lot since she can't use her arms. She said she will have a skin graft on her arm soon.

They have taken her off of the morphene! She said she was hallucinating on it. She thought she had come to my house for my son Matt's birthday but she didn't see Shannon, his sister. Now she is doing well on Perkaset (sp?) and slurs a little but knows what she's talking about!

She is still trying to put the pieces together about what happened and how long she was unconscience. She is concerned for what we have been through and is so appreciative of everyone for all the time, visits, prayers, and thought for her recovery.

I told her the good news about her hostel website going live TODAY!

She is very excited to get to read the blog this afternoon. She keeps hearing about it.
Sent her some messages!

Dear Linda,

Welcome to your blog! I'm so glad to hear you will be reading it at last.

We all appreciate Diane so much for creating it and keeping us all up to date. Also for all the friends who have contributed to it.

I'm so glad you have your own room now and someone to assist you in activities that need arms!

Lots of Love, "Sister" Mary

Slow and steady wins the race!
work hard with PT (and OT)
Don't be disouragd about having low endurance. Even just sitting in a chair is good exercise for you-helps your lungs, circulation, endurance, GI system, etc.
Don't be afraid of pain medicine, listen to your body and don't let the pain become too severe.
good luck

Dear Linda,
Diane came to our Grassy Knob Bible study for the first time yesterday. She is lovely, and we're blessed to have her as a new sister. You now have even more prayers coming your way. God bless you as your healing continues.
Love, Mary Gay Wenger

Linda -

Let's see now, since you've been "out", the hostel has been in operation for 5 years and we have to turn down folks every night, the stock market is over 25000 and
the price of gas is fifty cents since they figured out how to run cars on water!
Just messin' with ya!

Get ready to fight your way back so we can see you next year at Hare Mountain!

Smack John one for us, cause it just isn't right for Steve to do it! He's been a champ and he'll be there for you as you recover.

Get to it, Spunky!

Hi Linda and family. I have been following your blog ever since we got back from our trip. I really appreciate you guys doing this blog. I tried several phone calls while we were on our trip, but only got someone one time. Seeing how well Linda is doing on this blog, is a big relieve. I would have added my well wishes earlier, but just now figured out how to add comments. Linda, Jane and I think about you every day. We love you.
