Margaret had a very good recovery day yesterday.
When I first saw her at 11 a.m., she was off all her IVs and she not only was out of bed but also had already taken three walks. She had received a good evaluation from Dr. Lurain and his team during their morning rounds.
Through the day she:
• took four more walks,
• sat up in a chair much of the time,
• ate three solid-food meals, and
• talked with people who called her on the telephone.
In the afternoon, Joe Kernan came to visit for about an hour. Joe’s ability to light up a room worked even amidst the inherent gloom of a hospital, and his visit gave Margaret (and me) a great lift.
In the evening, Dr. Lurain’s partner told us that if Margaret’s recovery continues to progress as it has to date and she gets over “just a couple more hurdles”, she may be able to go home “by the weekend”. A good ending to a good day!

I just hear about this at the Memorial Board meeting today. It wasn't too long ago that we were in Hawaii together enjoying the beauty there. Our prayers are with you, and we'll be keeping up.
