FRIDAY!! IT'S FRIDAY!!

Yeah... ready to go HOME... really ready. It's been a long week. And it will be a long weekend trying to get my homework all in... we'll see what happens.

Hey, I got my Sears pictures of Miss Maddie back today, SOOOOOO cute! SOOOOO excited!

Here's an update on Monica:

Monica has been moved to Menorah and is settling in just fine. She was having a really good day yesterday and Tina thinks the change of scenery was good.

Unfortunately, due to the extent of her injuries, Rehab will be a very slow process and they have to take small steps at a time. Right now, they are working to get her comfortable with the wheelchair and the ability to transfer to and from the chair. She is learning to be more self sufficient for now. They plan to release her in the next 7 to 10 days. She will be able to heal better in the comfort of her own home and her own bed which will be good for everyone.
I sensed a great deal of frustration in Tina's voice yesterday because the reality of the wheelchair hit them pretty hard. It's easy to get caught up in all of the progress made from the standpoint of putting the broken pieces back together, but now, the slow painful task of learning to walk is upon them. Monica will be in the wheelchair for a long time and that is difficult to accept, but everyone is positive and hopeful about the prospects of her walking again. It just takes a long time to make that happen.

Tina is hanging tough and looks forward to getting back to work next week. Not sure what day yet, but she is ready to get going again. I'll let everyone know when she's back and you can wish her well.

She tells me every time we talk how much they all appreciate the cards and thoughts from everyone in the company. It has really touched them and you have all made a difference.

Here we are on Friday again and one of our own is still hurting. Have a great weekend, hug those you care about and be careful on the road.

Have a wonderful weekend everybody!!
