Sally's Update

Praise the Lord!

Sally's Cardiologist believes that she will be able to tolerate the 3 hours of intensive rehab at the Hosptial's Rehab Center. So she will not be transported to a sub-acute care facility, she will be moved to a new floor at the Hospital: Rehabilitation Services. This is exceptional news! Patients are not transferred to this unit if the Doctor does not believe they will be able to tolerate the intensive rehab required on this unit. Who knew! We have learned so much over the past 12 days; at the top of the list is Sally's abundance of strength and endurance! Frail is not a word we will ever coin in the same sentence with this woman--ever again!

Sally is excited about this news and is ready to begin some serious cardiac rehab. I am going to the hospital later this afternoon and will ask Sally's permission to post a photo or two of her. I have been taking photos along the way and we keep them taped on the closet door in her hospital room(s). She has always been a little resistant to having her photo taken; she says she always takes a goofy picture. She's not right of course, but frequently, her face is just a little scrunched....as she waits anxiously for the flash to go off! So I better ask her first! The great thing about a digital camera is she'll be able to view the photo before giving her permission! I can't wait.

While the Nuns at the Catholic Hospital don't carry around tamborines, please join us as we "whoop it up" today! Dance with us! Sing with us! Praise God for his wondrous works! Should you hear a distant "hoop and holler," it's just our family Praising God! Sally is making great progress.
