November 5 (Evening) Update

Carolyn continues to get well. Today she walked more and farther. The physical therapists are pushing her to go as far as she can and then a little beyond. She walked about 600 feet today.

She is working with the respiratory therapists on her lung capacity. (However, the pneumonia is still there, but it is slowly disappearing.)

She also continues to recover her memory. Her speech is more coherent and she is far less mixed up.

She is eating a little more (as much as one can when they are eating hospital food!!!!).

I added to more pictures today. You can read what they are. Does she not look really good in the second picture down. The abrasion on the right side of her face is a result of being the roto_bed for those four days.

More tomorrow.

  5. Carolyn, it is so great to see you looking well (well, as well as can be). I've been looking forward to new pictures. We love you lots! If the UK sort out the postal problem there will be something winging it's way over (not a Heat, better). Hopefully you should get it before Christmas!

    Thinking of you every day!
