Good morning.   We have some good news to report, Dorothy has done reasonably well at Village Health Care Center, she was able to walk with her Walker and the Physical Therapist a total of 207 feet at one time, not in one try, but rest stops every 30 - 40ft.  and she did equally well with the Occupational Therapist.  To pass Therapy and to Go Home with Therapist help for the next 8 to 10 weeks.   Getting up from a chair, out of bed, standing and other movements are still very difficult.  But she is HOME with a new bed and sitting in her recliner, enjoying her favorite TV programs, Dorothy is very, very happy.  This all started with a hospital stay June 1st to June 4th.  with Chronic Diastolic Congestive Heart Failure and again not able to breath & speak on the morning of September 3rd. heart stoppage on the 4th, revival and IMPLANTABE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR IMPLANTED on September 7th.  Plus, she had Covert this entire time at Southdale Heart Hospital, was isolated from all human contact.  Was a real Bummer for sure.  We thank you for all your Thoughts & Prayers, Cards and letters, phone calls, E-mails from many, many people.  The love shown is a very much appreciated.

Thanks Again
