5 months ago was my surgery. As I reflect back I am so grateful and humbled by all of you. The prayers, the cards, the meals, and the donations have simply overwhelmed me. I think about my tribe of people everyday and thank God for each one of you. It is people like you that have kept me pushing forward in my healing. And healing is happening!  My eye closes almost all of the way which is a HUGE milestone!  I have some movement when I try to smile and I can almost drink a can of pop without half of it landing on my shirt. I completed my PT and OT for now and have moved on to a speech/healing specialist. She is pretty great and says I am making improvements each time I see her. She said she can’t wait to hear what the doctors say at my 6 month check up!  Until then, continued prayers for my nerves to jump start, the tumor they had to leave to have no change, and for my energy to continue to improve.  (I’m not sure how long my boss is going to be okay with those mid-day naps. LoL)  I know that this is a marathon and not a sprint so I continue to take it day by day. The best thing that has happened in the last 5 months is that I said, “I do!” to the man of my dreams. We decided we were not going to let my recovery push us to wait any longer so my parents brought us out to Vegas to visit them and stood by our sides as we started our life together. He has been my rock these last 5 months and getting to be his wife for the rest of my life is a true blessing.
