Hello All-
Happy Thanksgiving. This year we have a lot to be thankful for! I am utterly amazed with Moms progress.
Mom had a day full of visitors, the Lions (who she somehow knew would loose) and Turkey. Patrick, Shannon, David, Susan, Grandma and Grandpa and I all took turns visiting mom yesterday. She ate mashed potatoes, turkey with gravy, and pumpkin pie.
We hope that you all had wonderful Thanksgivings! Thank you for all your support, thoughts and prayers!
Best

Good News
Hi Everyone-
I just got off the phone with Grandma-- Mom went to her ENT doctor today and had her Trach removed. This is an incredible step for Mom! It will take a few weeks to heal but it will be more comfortable for Mom and is a great step in her regaining some independence.
Also, with the help of the Speech Therapist, Mom is beginning to eat some real foods, like peaches, which are easy for her to swallow and attempt to chew.
Today is a good day!
As always, my family and I cannot thank you enough for your constant thoughts and prayers! Mom seems to be progressing and working towards coming home to us all! Please continue to send good energy and encouragement!

Halloween Weekend
Hi everyone,
Mom had a busy weekend. Her friend Lois Skinner stayed with Mom while Grandma took a much needed break up north. Ron, William, Shannon and myself all made visits. I am incredibly amazed by Mom's progress. She is still saying some words and eating ice chips and ice cream. Monday, I visited with Mom all day-we talked about Halloween in Gaylord, and reminisced about my siblings and I growing up. Mom seems to know who she is, who her family is, and where she is from. She tends to tire easily, but it is clear that she is working hard and making progress.
Saturday, Patrick, David, Grandma, Grandpa and I handed out Halloween candy at Nelson's Funeral Home, carrying on a great Gaylord Halloween tradition. Though it was cold and wet, we enjoyed seeing everyone's costumes and talking to those interested in Mom and praying for her recovery.
As always, my family and I cannot thank you enough for your encouragement and support. We will be sure to post more updates soon.
Thank you and God Bless.
