Wednesday, October 11

Margaret is continuing to improve. Her lungs are clearing, her voice is stronger, and she is complaining about the food. You can't blame her really - hamburgers should just never be pureed.

The improvements to her lungs and the signs that they are successfully fighting the infection are wonderful news. Her ordeal has left her very weak though. She is unable to hold anything, turn on her own, and other simple motions. Physical therapy has begun, though, and she is determined to get her strength back.

Tomorrow, Tommy will fly in to be here a couple of days overlapping Marty and then help with our anticipated discharge of Margaret.

She is really enjoying hearing from everyone. Thank you for the notes, comments, and cards.

Please know that Mike and I are praying for you Margaret for restored health and vitality and for you Tom, for health and strength. During trying times, sometimes all we can do is go to or listen to the Word. Our hearts go out to you both and your family.

Love from South Dakota!
Mike, Michelle and Jackson Kane

Rachel,
I think this would be a great idea. They would certainly cherish it always. Plus, I think their grandchildren would love to see all about FOPC and where MawMaw and PawPaw were and how much they were loved.
Thank you for such a thoughtful offer.
Marty
