Another step, more progress.
Cathy got moved out of the ICU during the night when they needed her bed for a more serious patient. Today she sat up in a chair and then went for a stroll down the hall! At first she shuffled her feet but then she began lifting her feet and taking real steps. The speech therapist came and Cathy passed the swallowing test! She can now have liquids (Starbucks!!!) and very soft, mushy foods. Bring on the mashed potatoes, ice cream and pudding! I am sure that will taste fabulous after not eating for over two weeks! Another milestone is that Cathy is free of all her tubes. Her nasal tube, catheter and IV's have all been removed! All of her stitches have been removed today and part of her staples. Cathy is now waiting for the insurance paperwork to be approved so that she can move to the rehab. Many of us feel we have seen a miracle with Cathy's recovery. Thank you God for keeping Cathy in our lives! Love, Linda

Yes, this truly is another step, more progress! There's no stopping you now, Cathy! You have definitely climbed your way to recovery! There will be more work ahead of you, however I have no doubt, you will conquer every one of the ups and downs the road to rehab has. You're going to be home before you know it! I second what Linda said, Thank God you are with us, You are a miracle! ILY
