FREE AT LAST


Saturday marked another milestone in our recovery. After a 26 day lock-down we were finally freed from solitary confinement. Sharon's white count exceeded 1.0 and so we were able to leave the room and walk the halls and even sit in the atrium for about 45 minutes. We repeated the walk again in the evening. She continues to be quite nauseated but the diarrhea is getting much better. We are trying to get her appetite back but she really hasn't felt like eating, but that will come. The Dr. says that the key to getting out of the hospital is being able to eat normally and take all medications orally and so that is our current project.
We are excited about our progress and continue to "MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH."

I bet Mom is loving that mask! Pretty soon she'll be in the atrium all day doing puzzles:) Great to see this next great leap forward.

I'm pleased to say we just got back in the room after an hour at the puzzle table.

Oh baby--puzzle table! Mom if you're up for a walk on Tuesday, you KNOW what I'll be having us do!! :-)
(So glad you're out and about, yeah!)

I'll leave all the puzzling to mom and loubige. Blech! I can't believe how much better mom is doing. It's so encouraging. What a fighter! And pops, you are awesome.

You are awesome pops. For you to do a puzzle is really true love! But I suppose you can only play so many rounds of kings corners.

Out and about - it's been a long time coming. Breaking out of the room and just sitting at the puzzle table - puzzling or not must be a great change of pace. I am really liking this trajectory.
