Thanksgiving to all

Over the last week and a half Mary has been making steady progress getting past the fevers, and now what is called the ICU syndrome which simply means "Too long in the hospital flat on your back". She sits up in a "cadillac" chair now, moving her arms, legs & toes, working on her point & flex in the ankles and wrists, raising her arms in preparation to take food, put on her glasses and exercising her fingers so she can eventually burn pages in books, music and write her name. She still has her feeding tube and is screaming (there's that word again) for a swallow test so she can begin to eat real food and drink water. Today on her door is a sigh that says, "TODAY WAS MARY'S BEST PERFORMANCE IN PHYSICAL THERAPY IN 78 DAYS, HOORAY!!" In this season of Thanksgiving she and her family say prayers of thanks for all of you. YOur continued cards and prayers and good wishes give testimony to the phenomenon the power of love creates miracles. The doctors & nurses have been inspired by her development thus far. Yes, Mary's recovery is miraculous, that's the only explanation any of us have... and every day is a precious gift!

Love to you all,

Jack & Sue
