Please forgive me for not posting last night. Rehab has been harder than anything else we have done so far. It keeps us pretty busy and worn out by the end of the day.

Yesterday we did more physical and occupational therapy. We also met with the recreational therapist who helps teach things like crossing streets, opening doors, etc. She's also a fellow cribbage player!

Hannah's surgeon, Dr. Jallo, made time in his busy schedule yesterday to stop by and do some quick follow-up. He said the incision looked good, that Hannah's strength is good and that she should be able to graduate from walker to cane in about a month. He expects her to recover as much as possible after 1.5 years and thinks she'll be walking unassisted by then with limited numbness in her legs.

We should receive the pathology report early next week. Hannah will have a follow-up MRI in OKC in 3 months and of course will be visiting with her PCP.

We will arrive home tomorrow evening. We're both ready to be done traveling for a while and are looking forward to spending time with the kids. In the coming weeks, we'll settle into a routine. The doctor has ordered in-home PT, OT and nursing for a few weeks and then outpatient PT after that (probably a long term thing).

We really appreciate everybody who has prayed for us, sent flowers (it's nice to have a hospital room that smells good), donated to fund raisers, organized care calendars, taken care of our kids, and more! We cannot thank you enough.

I'm especially thankful for everybody at ROBYN Promotions. I'd be hard pressed to find a group of people who are as caring, understanding and willing to help a friend and coworker in need.

Thanks again.

God is good.
