My Blogging Days Are Numbered

Cathy walked only once today. Not because she didn't want to, but because the physical therapist did not pay her a visit and the nurses and care partners were too busy to assist her. Her apatite has improved to where she was able to eat three meals today.

She is doing well adjusting to using the speaking valve. Last night was a very emotional evening for both of us. We had our first real conversation since June.

Yesterday her trach was downsized, today the doctors discussed removing the trach completely. This may happen tomorrow morning. Cathy's improvements are coming so fast its almost unbelievable.

Home for the holidays is a reality. Home before this weekend is a looking like a real possibility.

Okay...more goosebumps! This is amazing!!! I can't believe how quickly you are improving! Trach possibly out tomorrow...going home within the next week...you're definitely going to make "poster child" status again! God is blessing you BIG TIME to show you the fruit of all your perseverance and determination! You deserve it more than anyone I know!

I love you so much!

Hugs and Kisses!

David, as much as we all enjoyed and appreciated your blogs I am looking forward to continuing my daily E-Mails with Cathy.

Oh there's no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam,
If you want to be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays,
You can’t beat home, sweet home.
