Good evening!! Progress with Wendy continues!! She is beginning to eat food, made at special consistencies, but it is the steps towards getting the feeding tube removed. She has to be able to eat 50% of each meal to be able to have to tube removed. I forget how many days she has to do this, though. But it is good to know that Wendy is making great strides in all aspects of therapy. Matt said that the PT and OT were talking and said that Wendy has improved to mod-max assist from dependent. This means that Wendy came there being dependent for transfers and everything else. She is now able to help on her own to perform these tasks. This is great news, considering where she started. Those of you who had been to see Wendy while she was in ICU know where she was then…THIS IS A WHOLE NEW WENDY at this point!! HealthSouth is doing a great job of getting her back to us. The girls have gotten up a few time this week to see her as well. The biggest issue that remains is her short term memory. If you happen to go and visit, and you have only known her for less than 2 years, dont be offended or upset if she has difficulty recalling your name, we just have to pray that the speech therapists are able to help her regain everything. So I ask that as you continue to diligently pray for Wendy’s recovery, that you lift her up in regards to her memory, along with the physical healing that is already taking place. THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR MIRACLE SHOWN WITH WENDY AND FOR YOUR CONTINUED HEALING. WE THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WILL DO! I believe that God is using this as a situation that is allow him to “show off” what He is capable of. Non-believers will have a hard time denying that He was involved in this!! Have great Father’s Day!

Praise the Lord for every step in the process...be it large or small...it is a progress and He deserves the Praise, Honor and Glory for it all!!!
If pics of people from church would be of help in the future let me know and I will get them together for her therapist. Still praying and BELIEVING for full recovery to her former self. (Sorry Matt, but you are gonna have to put up with her just the way she was before...lol).
Love all of you,
Concetta
