Don't Blink, She'll Pass You Up

Today Cathy's physical therapy progressed to include some working out on a step. This workout replaced one of her strolls around the unit: four laps and several repetitions of lifting her weight up and down a step.

The procedure to downsize her trach went well. The next step for her is learning to tolerate the speaking valve.

During the past five plus months we have witnessed miracles in many forms. Cathy's progress during the past few days is nothing short of another miracle.

Woohooo!!! I'm lovin' all these miracles! Another great day and more good news! Yeah!

We're praying for some small miracles ourselves...Joe slipped on some ice and broke his wrist in 3 places today. He may have surgery on Wednesday and we're trying to figure out how to keep the 5 catering jobs we have over the next week!

Life is never boring, is it!?

May your Wednesday be even better than your Tuesday! I can't wait to hear about it. Thanks for keeping us informed David...I'd drive you nuts with phone calls if you didn't!

Love and Hugs,
BonBon
XOXOXOXO
