It is with humility and Thanksgiving that I am sending a final message to all my friends, family and loved ones who have been following my ups and down over the past several months here on the Caring Bridge site. Thanks so much for your words of encouragement, cards, phone calls and most of all for your prayers that God has most graciously answered. I am now able to get In and out of bed by myself, walk around the house with my walker and sometimes even sneak a few steps on my own.(Don't spread that around). I have had outside help for the past 2 weeks and I am now able to do most of my ADL's (activities of daily living) by myself. And it is hard to believe that I have had such a serious surgery and have recovered so well. God has been so good and so gracious to me and has answered so many of your prayers. I, too, pray God will bless you for your part in my progress and recovery.
