Tuesday, Dec. 13th

It's been 3 weeks today since Margaret had her stroke - hard to believe all that has happened in these past 21 days. Today, the pile of cards started arriving - wow!  Very fun to get mail and read all the wonderful messages!  Margaret has an amazing group of friends from all different arenas - tennis, book club, movie club, Fulbright group, Down's Syndrome group, work,  and I'm sure I'm forgetting something besides.  She's been a busy woman!  We're getting ever closer to having a date to come home - we hope to have something definite by the end of this week. Margaret did not get to go to the gym today unfortunately.  She needed an ultrasound today and the rehab people didn't know when the ultrasound was going to be done so they didn't want to have her gone from her room.  Kind of the way it is here.............. We had more smiles from Margaret today and we continue to see her left arm move so that's very encouraging.  I thank God for each and every one of you in Margaret's life - you will all play an important part in her recovery as she returns home.
