Not only did Mary go to radiation yesterday she also had PT this morning. She got out of bed and walked 5 or 6 steps. She still isn't able to put much pressure on her right leg. She has a ways to go with that. Really important to get her moving as much as possible. She is still on her pain drip and the doctors are working to get her to a pill form of pain management. She is very anxious to get out of the hospital. Still doesn't have an appetite but she did eat tiny bit this a.m. Her blood pressure is stil elevated, but not horribly so and that darn potassium is still low. Not being as nauseous will hopefully get her eating to aid those potassium levels. As I update I believe Kathleen has arrived. I know Mary is really looking forward to that.
That's all I have to report for now!!

Hi Mary, Small steps can be such as that of a mustard seed...it can grow into larger steps and the hope that we all share in continued strength and good health for you will become a prayer answered. That's what faith can do! Our Lenten theme this year is "Standing in the Need of Prayer". Please know that you are in mine! ...and rest assured, God hears every word. Take care Mary...be strong! :) Marilyn Q.
