We just had a good long walk and ordered lunch. Kathleen is resting until lunch arrives, so I thought a quick blog update was in order. No offense to everyone, but we just got the best blog message to date and I will copy it here in for those of you having trouble viewing comments. . .
Dear Mommy and Daddy,
I love you a lot. I hope mommy gets better tomorrow so you can come home tomorrow. I'll give mommy a great big hug and you too daddy. You're the best, so I am sending this message to you because I love you a lot. Love, Delaney
Things are progressing nicely. Kathleen is relatively steady on her feet. The walks take a bit out of her, but they are what we need to get her strong and out of here, so we are shooting for 6 good walks today and have already completed 3. It is a bit hard for Kathleen to eat with no muscles working on the right side of her face, but she has a good apetite (pancakes, grapes, a banana, and juice for breakfast), so we are hoping her strength will come back quickly.

You'r right! Best message Mom could've received. Glad the progress is accelerating - there's no place like home.

Hi Kathleen - I'm so happy to see you are making such great progress, but not surprised. You, being you, had researched post-surgery side effects and formed a battle plan. So the most AWESOME thing to read is that your balance is recovering so quickly! That is just remarkable. Also, while I'm totally jealous of your current diet, let's do that together at a later date. For now, please take advantage of the fact that people are trying to stuff with you carbs or anything else you want. Finally, thanks to Mark for his frequent and funny updates. You are getting the very best (free) "medicine" right there! Eat, eat, eat, walk, walk, walk -- Hugs to you, Jody
ReplyDeleteDuring a trick or treat session in the back yard D captured two rollie pollies and entends to present them to "show and tell". We built a habitat for them.
ReplyDeleteUncle Buck is trying to figure out how to install the sun screens on the porch,, without the instructions. That is nothing new, cuz even when there are instructions we don't use them.

Well Delaney is a child prodigy with her blogs! She must take after her mom! So happy to hear things are going well. Hope you get released tomorrow and get to go home to your beautiful girls. Keep up the walking and the entertaining blogs! Thanks. Lots of hugs and prayers still heading your way.
