Another Brief Update

Good things are happening, thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of Susan!

Yesterday, Susan was able to move and control her left knee and left ankle. This is something she has been unable to do since January. Walking is getting a little better (with the use of a walker,) but it's still very tiring. She says she has to think about every step -- it's like learning to walk all over again.

The best news, and the news that made her happiest, is the doctor has told her she will probably be released from Mercy on Saturday! We have plans to fly to my sister's home in Tennessee for the Thanksgiving holiday. Susan wouldn't have been too pleased to have missed that. She told the doctors if she had to crawl out the hospital on her hands and knees in the middle of the night, she would be on that plane!

Again, thanks for your thoughts, prayers, phone calls, cards, and visits. They have been of great importance to Susan and to me.
