Joan is finally out of the hospital & back to Skilled Nursing care at Good Sam. She is so pleased to be back where people don't just "take care" of her but also "care for" her! Her bones continued healing during her battle with blood clots & infections, so her bone docs are pleased. She is out of the arm brace for most of the day & her finger pin was removed. All she has for hardware is her leg fixator. They will do xrays in 1 1/2 weeks to see when to remove that. Joan is "happy" to be back to therapy, getting up into a wheelchair & even a walker for transfers. It is all exhausting, & we are having to limit her company for now. Please continue to pray for her. Her medical & emotional states are still fragile. She is finding comfort in family & friends & God's Word. A card with a word of encouragement or a favorite Scripture might help, but not everyone! Thanks for all your prayers. We have felt lifted up & carried along beyond our strength, tho' often stretched beyond what we wanted.
