Hi to All,

Thanks to everyone for all your prayers, cards and concerns.  The amount of concerns has been amazing.

As of yesterday she has improved to a point where she can almost get up by herself to do the bathroom chores.  That is a problem because she stills needs help as she is not quiet strong enough to do it without help.  She has been given rehab to improve this function and the others like swelling so she can eat regular food.  So far she has been fed through a stomach tube.  She has become less confused as where she is etc. which is great.  She has lost some strength on her left side, but everything is functioning very well.  She does still have some sight problems to the left.

Today (maybe) she will be moved to a rehab center for more specialized rehab.  In this center she must be able to withstand 3 hours of rehab.  That is spread out over the day.  Time will tell!

Thanks again,

Quentin
