Amazing Grace!

WOW is all I can say! Kathy’s surgery appears to be an unqualified success. The best description for what has happened in in her own very words, “it feels like I just came out of a fog”. When we visited today, she seemed to be mentally alert, talkative and concerned about her visitors. She acts very much like someone who has just awakened from a concussion; short on current events answers (like the current President or what year we're in?) but knows most generalities.

The amazing thing is she has taken control of her body movements and this should help immensely during physical, speech and occupational therapy classes. She actually requested to sit on the side of the bed this afternoon instead of lying down! She exhibits good humor, sharp wit and other strong emotion feelings. No more starring and easy distractions to contend with!

I’m truly "blown out of the water" when I compare before and after surgery. It is a miracle! I think each one of you will feel the same. She is currently experiencing some post surgery pain which seems to affect her sleeping mainly. We hope this will pass also.

If you are interested in visiting, I recommend visiting during the morning and early afternoon. With her freshness in the morning, I have come to the conclusion, Kathy and her visitors will share a more meaningful visit. Our family wants to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes this weekend-IT WORKED!
