Monday

For those wishing to visit Judy, she is listed under Marilyn (her first name). She also asked that no more flowers be brought at this time, and she has enough stuffed animals to keep the flowers company. Thanks so much for the extremely generous show of support from so many of you.

There were two exciting developments for Judy today. First, from a sitting position in her wheelchair she was able to stand up with no assistance and no walker!! For her walking exercises she still uses the parallel bars. That is going very well. Second, she was in the music therapy room and sat down at the piano, and  started playing. Although the music is not as flowing as it was, there was still music in her fingers! Jason is going down to see her this weekend and Judy requested her electronic keyboard. She wants to practice and exercise her fingers...AMAZING!

For Judy being at GF Strong is an excellent experience. Judy is extremely positive and grateful for everything she is still able to think, feel, and do.  She is expecially grateful when she sees other patents at the facillity who are often much younger and have very severe handicaps. She is one of the ones with the most mobililty, and considering what she has gone through, that is amazing. God has protected her and is blessing all of us so richly.
