has already been written by her hospital visitors, she is doing so fantasic.

It is very

encouraging to hear her so vivacious and upbeat and positive. Yes, I know it

helps that

she isn't having any complications whatsoever, but she truly has an " Attitude

of

Gratitude. " >>>>

Oh, Fran: I am so grateful and appreciate EVERYONE's thoughts and prayers.

I know storming the gates of Heaven works and your support and everyone's

support means more to me than I can put in words!

I came home early - yesterday afternoon (Sunday). I tried to call you before

I left but the phone kept ringing (around 3:00-4:00 or so) and there wasn't

an answering machine! Sorry! I'm going to call you soon!

<<<<She was asking about so many of you and what is happening with the list

and

concerned about others. She is a reminder to me of myself this time last Ja

nuary and

the hope I had for the future, which has become a reality for me. I will

continue to

Storm the Gates of Heaven interceeding for and her family, especially

for her

mother who has flown out to help with the little children for a while. There

are all kinds

of support necessary for complete recovery. Thanks to all of you for the

support and

cheers for so far. She plans to go home Monday morning and hopefully

tomorrow

will be a good day for her and that she will be stronger yet. . >>>>

OH, thanks! I took a 6 block walk this a.m. and felt wonderful! Now, at

4:15 I'm tuckering out and must get myself to BED! But, I'm having so much

fun reading the lists! LOL

I continue to keep all our switch sisters and brothers in my thoughts and

prayers --- I'm still doing great and am getting my protein in -- I got about

32 gms in so far today (by late afternoon). Just sore, but able to get up

out of bed (it's on the floor - I was really worried about that) and sleep on

my side with a big body pillow!

Still don't want to bend all the way down and pick anything up, but doing

well!

all the best,
