Anne is doing better

Maurice's wife Anne has been in hospital for nearly a month now but is improving on a daily basis. She was moved about a week ago to a second hospital for recreational, physical, and occupational therapy. We have managed to visit daily since we got here on Sunday. She has 4-5 hours of therapy broken up into two segments, one morning and one afternoon. One of her therapists informed us today that they were all pleased with her progress. She fell once yesterday but did no damage. She is trying to earn a night home on the 16th. If she continues to progress then she may get to go home and do therapy on an out patient basis. We are all pleased with all of her hard work and progress.

She is cheerful, optomistic, and has all her mental capacities, telling us great family stories when we are visiting. We are thankful for this blessing. We are very thankful for her husband and children's support. Many friends visit daily, and she has collected lots and lots of cards. The flowers have been beautiful.
How wonderful that we have the flexibility to be here to offer our help and support! Family is so important to us!
