Progress

Hi Everyone-



I am in Michigan for the first time in a month and I'm so happy to see that Mom is making progress. Though we still have a long road ahead of us , we have come such a long way. Mom is working daily with Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapists. Each one is doing a tremendous job and encouraging Mom to get better each day. Mom is slowly able to utter words like "Hi" and "Sure". Though her voice is faint, it is wonderful to hear it for the first time in months. She recognizes her family, which I am incredibly grateful for, as well as some close family friends that have visited.

Patrick made a visit today, which Mom really enjoyed. I get to stay through Tuesday before I have to head back to work in DC. Shannon is fighting a cold so she stayed away this weekend and William is on a trip with School. It has been great to spend the weekend with Mom and Grandma, who as everyone knows has been this family's rock and glue.

I have to extend a grand thank you to everyone who is still interested in Mom's recovery and I speak for my Mom and our entire family when I thank everyone for all the prayers and blessings that have been showered upon us over the past six months.

Now that Grandma and I have the password to get on this site, we will be better at updating everyone.

Thank you and God Bless!
