Dec 6, 2011

My dates are a little out of order here but I just got an email from Dad with a few things I didn't include. He has been so diligent in taking notes of her progress:

For the fist time today even doctors and nurses used the 'miracle' word.

She did physical and speech therapy. With assistance she walked 75 ft.

She is on normal diet and eating really well.

She is speaking unexpectedly well which her early prognosis indicated that this would be very unlikely. I am so grateful for this. What would life be without that sharp tongue of Sues.

She is worried about her Book of Mormon class ladies. Terry Salmon / friend ,family ,relief society president came and visited with her. They talked and put her mind at rest. For now.

Krischelle got in town from Phoenix and brightened sue up.

Seems like she really does her best when those she loves are in the room. She wants us all to feel good about all this.

What incredible care she is receiving. We are so thankfully to all their exceptional skills and talents but more importantly for their genuine kindness and personal  interaction. What I'm trying to say is that we love them for loving us.

There has never been a time when sue has been without one of her children (this includes Sue's daughter in laws) in her room 24/7. Usually there are more than one and sometimes they are all packed into her room until the hospital staff raises an eyebrow at us for bending the rules.

Another day of Sue defeating the odds. What a tough cookie.

  7. I'm sending my warmest wishes to you, Sue. It has been years since I've seen you, but you'll always be in my heart as a special friend from early childhood through high school. It looks like you have an amazing family who love you like crazy and a strong network of friends to pull you through this. Know that prayers are being sent from long ago friends as well. Our small group of 13th ward girls were and are strong women and from what I can tell, have all become beloved mothers and grandmothers. I'm confident your inner strength along with the love of your family will result in your speedy return to good health.
    Your friend,
