HEY GUYS, A LITTLE UP-DATE ON CAROL'S PROGRESS. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE THE OPERATION. SHE IS WALKING WITH A WALKER AND STILL HAS A LOT OF PAIN. SHE IS RECEIVING THE PAIN MEDICINE-LORI TABS. THEY HELP THE PAIN AND KEEP HER OUT OF LA LA LAND. SHE IS VERY ALERT ON THIS MEDICINE. SHE IS NOW WALKING ACROSS THE HALL TO THE SHOWER WHICH IS ABOUT 30 STEPS BOTH WAYS. SHE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH LETTING HERSELF SIT DOWN ON THE BED IN A SLOW AND EASY MANNER. AT THIS POINT SHE IS VERY TIRED AND WANTS TO JUST FALL OR FLOP DOWN ON THE BED, BUT LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE, SHE IS PROGRESSING WELL. WE MET WITH THE REHAB TEAM AND DR. AND THEY ARE GOING TO CONTACT THE INSURANCE CO. TO GET HER ONE MORE WEEK OF REHAB AND I THINK SHE WILL BE WALKING VERY WELL AT THAT POINT . I THINK SHE WILL STILL NEED SOME PHYSICAL THERAPY AND WE WILL CROSS THAT BRIDGE AT THAT POINT AND TIME


Thanks Clay,


Some individuals in life have an "Indomitable Spirit" which means they just cannot be beaten. You and Carol each have that, and God has not blessed us all in such a way. Our prayers are helping and the young Vice lady and you will pull this one through. Thank you, God!
