Wednesday night and all is WELL

I called Mama tonight and she greeted me with something like "Well Hello you ole sweetie" and I was pleasantly amazed! She sounds stronger. Marlene and Susan and Don were with her today and report she is walking back and forth to the bathroom. She had a shower and shampoo this morning, Nebulizer treatment, and uses her spyrometer (I think that's the name of the little doo-dad they make you blow into and measure your 'breath strength with) religiously every hour.

PT came up and took her for a walk in the hall but said my sisters should not take her as she is a little unsteady. She was taken down and a 'pick line?-was put in her upper arm so they can get blood without poking for a vein-mama has always had "rolling" veins and they are difficult to get into. I am probably not stating all this just technically correct and I could ask Marlene to clarify but she has too many important things to think about so I will eventually get corrected by someone if I am wrong.

But the best report of all was from Mama-she told me that she feels much stronger every day and that is good news for me and my siblings!

We will be leaving for Midland in the morning and I will take my computer.

Again, Thanks all of you, and good night.

Dear Grandma,

We just wanted to tell you we are still thinking about you, and Praying for you. Know that God is right there by your side. Our sweet baby Bailey is still doing great in school!!! She is also playing soccer this year. Ashley is off to highschool this year, (where have the years gone!) she is liking it and is doing great. Mr Connor is in 5th grade this year, and is not liking it so much, but is doing great. He thinks school is a waste of his time. With all thier sports, and activities, soccer, basketball, swimming, and track etc...... they are keeping me busy. I think I am going to put a taxi sign on my van. Everybody sends their wishes,

Lots of Love, hugs, and kisses

Jeff, Lynn, Ashley, Connor, and Bailey
