Home from 4th surgery 7/12/09

Mary came home today. She is doing ok. The walk from the car (using the walker) was a workout using the walker. She navigated the two steps with me just there for a safety net and to help balance a little. Latter on Mary walked up the stairs with me being a handrail and there for a safety net and making suggestions on what to move. It takes and incredible amount of work to for her to walk with the walker and she has to think, sometime out loud, about what leg to move or move the walker. The physical therapist called it a “walker waltz”. “Walker, right leg, left leg”, “the walker three step”. Mary will be getting physical and occupational therapy a few days a week at home. She is very thankful for all of you that are praying and encouraging her. The therapist said Mary is very motivated, (like that’s new to us. Not) she has always been a hard worker and this situation will not change that. Please continue to pray for her recovery and Gods perfect peace. She talked to Danielle in France for a while today and that was great therapy in itself. I will keep you posted on her progress.
God Bless
Bob and Mary

  • Bob & Mary,

    So glad to hear Mary came home I have checked the blog 2-3 times a day since surgery hoping for an update. Thanks Bob for keeping us informed. Please tell Mary we love her and had family prayer time for her this morning. As I told you at the hospital I will wait for the green light from you Bob before I visit Mary.
