January 2, 2010

After almost 2 months (with the exception of a few days before her 3rd bleed) Mom is finally out of the Neuro ICU and in a regular hospital room! YAY!

She had a lot of familiar faces visiting her today which I think helps her tremendously. Her brother Tony, Michael, Zack, Cord and Victoria were there along with Toni and Rod Ross and of course Johnny and myself. Also, she kept talking about seeing her cousin Terri yesterday, so I think she thoroughly enjoyed the visit. She was a regular comedian this evening and at one point while Johnny was trying to get her to not do something....she swirled her finger around her temple indicating he was crazy lol. She is rambling less, her rash is almost dried up, and she is fidgeting much less as well. At one point she WROTE HER NAME! She has come a long way even in a few days. Where she is at right now is where we expected her to be in weeks and weeks. She is amazing all of us with her progress.

  2. It was great to finally get to come and see Gaye, it was hard at first to see her cause she has always been so strong and independent. But you can also see that same independence and strength making it possible for her fast recovery! I love you Gaye, I hope you continue to amaze everybody each and every day, as I know you will!!! Love, JoAnn Porter
