Both Addie and Joan were up and walking around today! Joan and Addie both made significant improvements between this morning and this afternoon. By the end of the day, Joan was walking around without any assistance. They offered to let her come home today, to which she responded, "Is this really what it feels like to be ready to go home?" We hope to bring Joan back from the hospital tomorrow.
My mom was also walking around independently (although she has to use her IV stand) by the end of the day. She even came out of her room to see Jade who was running around in the hallway. My cousin Tiana, her fiance Jon, and my friend Brie accompanied my dad and I to the hospital today. It was nice to have lots of extra helping hands with Jade. We were all really excited to see my mom and Joan up and walking! They are both doing really well!
Addie and Joan have both enjoyed hearing the comments posted on the blog, which I continued to share with them today.

ReplyDeleteI just learned of this website so have read it from the beginning. What an amazing feat this life saying surgery has been! I am so happy to know that both Addie and Joan are doing well and ready to be released from the hospital soon. It's wonderful that Addie has a "built in nurse" to care for her every need during recuperation----know you are up to it Pete!

So glad to hear things are going well! What a miracle that Addie and Joan are already up and walking. Talk about strong women. They're in my prayers. Love, Arlena
ReplyDeleteWow -- you two are amazing women! We continue to think of and pray for you both. Did you actually go "home" today, Joan? I hope that you are settling in, not too blotto from all the drugs, and able to watch every movie you've been waiting to see on DVD! The three of us send our love (and occassional giggle from Tae)!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Jana, Mike, and Tae
That's just awesome! Praise God for a smooth journey so far. I hope Joan and Addie contine letting others pamper them for a while!
