Hi everybody! Just wanted to let you all know that momma is doing great. They are even sending her home in two weeks. She is doing alot better with walking. Daddy stands in front of her and she walks slowly towards him to the bathroom and shower and stuff. She still has a good bit of trouble with word finding, but she has been in very high spirits for most of the time. She thinks it's pretty dang funny when she accidentally hits the "nurse call button" instead of the tv remote She is also on a regular diet now instead of that mush crap, but she is being VERY picky about what she likes. The docs are completely amazed with her. We are having a slight problem though, my dad has been trying to get in touch with Teresa at stanford since they got her release date and he can't get past the receptionist. He has already been in touch with thier insurance and it looks like they are going to cover her trip to stanford, but the need a proceedure list. And we can't get it because we haven't been able to get in touch with Teresa. I e-mailed her the other day, so I guess if I haven't heard back from them mon. I will e-mail Dr. Stienburg. I am so anxious to get her there so we can be getting something done about this. Anyway, sorry this is so long. Just wanted to let yall know momma is doing really good. Thanks alot guys, and keep up the prayers(they sure are working!!)               Nikki

Nikki,
That is great news about your mom.  I am sure everything will fall into place.  I remember being on pins and needles until we got all of our okays.  Hang in there.  It WILL all work out.  I will keep you in my prayers.
