Monday is the Day by Lane

OK, here we are a few days since the last post. It seems when things are going great, you just forget to do everything. Yes, Diane is progressing well. It is just after 7 PM and we are watching the Hallmark station together. Boy the Fonz is really grey now.

Diane is doing quit well. Though she can't really get around unless she has a wheel chair or a walker when she is really adventurous. She tires out very quickly when exercising or walking, but she is growing stronger every day.

So Monday is the COMING HOME DAY!! She is a bit scarred not having the 'hospital' attention, but we have assured her that friends, family and countrymen will be pitching in to help and assist.

Her voice is a bit different...I think because of the trach she had in, but no problem talking and getting her point across. Before she went in to the hospital she had problems speaking and with hand tremors. No more. Seems something happened to get rid of all those problems.

Once we are home we will need a few days to settle in, so if you wish to visit call Lane @ 801-571-7857 in the evenings and we will get you in as quickly as possible. We just don't know how she will be feeling. I am sure that will be day to day.

We are so thankful that Diane will be home for the holidays. It was hard not having her home for turkey day, but so happy she has been blessed and recovered quickly.

Special thanks to Nikki at hospital, her swallowing coach. Ever done swallowing exercises? First, tongue out and swallow. Second, do that again and again. Third, hold head up for 35 seconds 5 times a day. Fourth, lift head up 15 times, up and down, 3 sets a day. Fun, huh?

She is working on wheel chair 101 and 102. Well you can see she is busy learning basic things again.

Enough for now. We will get further info out soon.

Love you all! Lane
