Here's an update on Sunday night. I am in N. Carolina at a women's retreat until tomorrow. The photo above doesn't have anything to do with Mom — I just was struck by how pretty my vanilla and strawberry yogurt looked in its blue bowl this morning!Here's an update from Dad, 12/27/08:
Cheryl continues to make progress. She's getting in and out of bed by herself now for the first time, though I am staying close by just in case. Her walk is hesitating but strong, and she is learning to re-balance herself with her new higher center of gravity. She is spending 15 minutes of every hour out of bed, and her pain level is manageable. Stamina continues to be the major problem, but that should improve as she pushes herself. One indication of her healing: she's starting to get bored.
Thanks so much for your faithful prayers. She doing quite well, though many hurdles remain. It's all encouraging, especially when you remember that she was originally scheduled to be in the hospital until December 30th.

Hope you're encouraged today, Cheryl, to remember that this is the day that you were to come home... how sweet to realize that several days and important "steps" in your healing are already history.
Praising our God for all your progress thus far and asking HIM to continue to encourage and strengthen you and Doug as you proceed. Onward and upward!
Love,
Kay
boredom, as bad as it is, does seem like a good sign. And Cheryl, can you even remember the last time you WERE bored??
Rock on, Sister!
