The spirit today on the floor was great, everyone was on the same team. All silently acknowledging that no one was where they want to be but supportive of everyone that was there with them. Big smiles, well wishes from staff, guests and patience.
Laura had a stream of family in and out of the hospital today on rotating shifts. Throughout the day we read the cards that have been sent, emails and texts from all of you. Thank you all for the well wishes.
Today was a good day. Laura went for multiple walks. We are still on a walker (need to buy tennis balls) and have the pole trailing throughout that said, she is up to a full lap of the 10th floor, 500' or so and continues to increase the pace with each lap.
She did have a turkey dinner with all the sides. First meat in months! She had no issues eating and actually enjoyed the meal.
Nothing goes without saying. The list that we have this year is long and includes all of you. Impossible to think how we would have made it this far without the tribe. I am not sure how to express our gratitude and I am confident that I will never express it to the full extent.
Though we do not know the donor and their situation we are thankful for their decision to be a donor and acknowledge that this Thanksgiving and holiday season will be tough. If in the future we do meet them or they do know that Laura was the recipient I want them to know how much they mean to us.
Raise a glass to each of you. We hope you all have a fabulous holiday weekend filled with memories. Enjoy the clean air and be safe of the roads.
Cheers!!!!!!
