Mom's Recovery

View from dad's apartment.

The night of August 12th, 2009, mom had a stroke. These last couple of weeks has been a whirlwind of emotions. Sad, happy, nervous, excitement and disappointment. When someone in your family is in pain or hurting, it affects you all. Why then do bad things happen to good people. We are all learning and growing from this experience. It is going to be a long haul of intense therapy, but it will be worth it. Dad is staying down in in a house, that is owned by the McKay Dee Hospital. What a blessing to us kids that he can be close with mom. Though the therapy is hard and tiring, mom still has the time to be spunky and witty. Here is the address to where mom and dad can both receive cards or letters. (which is very helpful to both their needs)
