UPDATE Mon 9/15/2008 9:57 AM
WE WENT TO DINNER
WITH MARGE AND JON ON SATURDAY NIGHT. I AM HAPPY TO TELL YOU
THAT MARGE HAS MADE GREAT PROGRESS. WHEN WE GOT TO THE HOUSE
ABOUT 4 SHE WAS JUST GETTING UP FROM HER DAILY NAP. SHE WALKED
OUT, CANE IN HAND, (FOR SECURITY) CAME AROUND THE CORNER AND
THERE SHE WAS, BIG SMILE AND ALL. OTHER THAN A BIG WEIGHT LOSS,
SHE LOOKED JUST LIKE THE MARGE WE KNOW AND LOVE. SHE DID
EVERYTHING UNASSISTED ALL EVENING AND CARRIED ON CONVERSTATION
LIKE ALWAYS THO A LITTLE HALTING AT TIMES. WHAT A MIRACLE!
SHE HAS BEEN HAVING
IN-HOME REHAB BUT WILL START OUT-PATIENT REHAB SOON. AND THERE
WILL BE SOMEONE WITH HER DURING THE DAY WHILE JON IS GONE
WORKING, DOING ERRANDS ETC. JOHN TOLD US HOW SOME OF HER THERAPY
IS RELATING RECIPES TO HER HOME THERAPY PERSON WHILE THE PERSON
ACTUALLY MAKES THE DISH. SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER SOME THINGS BUT
KNOWS HER RECIPES. OF COURSE! SHE'LL BE COOKING AND TAKING
CARE OF EVERYONE AGAIN BEFORE WE KNOW IT! THO SHE NEEDS LOTS OF
REST IN THE MEANTIME.
SHE AND JON SAY
"THANK YOU" FOR ALL OF THE CARDS YOU SENT. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY
OVERWHELMED BY YOUR KINDNESS. MARGE SHOWED ME HOW TALL THE
STACK WAS. ABOUT A FOOT I WOULD SAY. THAT MEANT SO MUCH TO
THEM.
THEY ARE GOING TO
TRY A TRIP TO FOREST HIGHLANDS (FLAGSTAFF) ON WEDNESDAY IF
EVERYTHING GOES AS PLANNED. WE'RE GOING TO BE UP THERE TOO. WE
WILL BE KIND OF A COMFORT ZONE FOR JON, I THINK. AND WE'LL KEEP
THEM FED. MARGE HAS A GOOD APPETITIE......JON TOO!
SO ALL IN
ALL..........ITS ALL GOOD! THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS!
JACKYE AND LEON
