Back in California!

I'm back in California for Christmas, and I got to see Mom today! She is doing so much better than the last time I saw her. It's encouraging to see how much progress she's been able to make. Her eyes are bright and alert, she's talking, she can feed herself with her right hand with a bit of help, and she can reach up and wipe her face with a washcloth. She enjoys cracking jokes with the physical therapists and the nurses, and we all had some good laughs together. Lou and Melinda came to visit today, and it was obvious that Mom really enjoyed their company.

Mom qualified for acute rehabilitation several days ago, which was very exciting news. In fact, we had been hoping that she would be there by now, but she is being kept at Sutter for another day or two because she has developed a few infections. She is being treated with antibiotics, but she won't be moved to acute rehab in Auburn until she is more stable.

Merry Christmas Sandy and Family! I spoke to Christopher last night and he seems in good spirits. I told him he wears a Santa hat quite handsomely. He liked how the hat could be adjusted to make his ears stick out to achieve the perfect "elf" look. ha ha His obvious job, as an elf, would be to put the star on top of the trees. No ladder required. ho ho ho

We are praying for Sandy's fever to disappear and that the job the fever is there for to accomplish is done. We have been waiting for the green light to visit Sandy so we hope she makes it to Auburn successfully soon. :) It is so good to hear fresh news and that the news is so positive! Yay God!!! Love, Maris
