Mom's progress is slow and cumbersome, but there is progress. She has a long way to go and with God's grace, she will return home this year hopefully. She continues to move and exercise her extremities with very limited movement of the left arm and hand still. Her speech is progressing but not yet able to put a full sentence together. Her memory is good from what we can tell up until the accident when it is suspected she blacked out. It's suspect with short term events. This may improve over time.

PLEASE NOTE.....UNTIL MOM'S IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS SHOWN MORE IMPROVEMENT TO DEFEND AGAINST BASIC GERMS and THE VRE HAS PASTED, ALL VISITING HAS BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. ONLY DAD AND SONS ARE BEING GIVEN AUTHORIZATION TO VISIT. WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN UP THE VISITATION NEXT WEEK.

Please pray for Mom's continued progess in rehab and her bug. Also, please keep her family in prayer as we deal with future arrangements and care for Mom.

Thank you all for your Valentine messages for Mom. They have all been pasted on a huge 6 x 5 decorated heart, coutesy of my wife and Bonnie Z. Greetings came as far as the UK courtesy of Helen. Again, on behalf of Mom and family, thank you for your expressions of love and concern.
