Visiting Mom today, she was sitting up eating some shredded chicken, rice and beans. Lots of water was being consumed. After lunch was settled down to tackle the NY Times crossword puzzle that Mom faithfully tried to complete every Sunday. She got 4. I ....guessed.... at 5.( I know Keith Palmer concur with that statement ). She talked with Marty over the phone expressing in so many words how much she is enjoying her 5 ft by 6ft valentine heart with everyone's valentine message. The family and nurses are slowly working our way through reading them all to her.

Thank you all for your prayers.
