Update via Colorado!

Thanks for those of you who gave us some good ideas on things that a person confined to a room in a place they don't really want to be, might find useful and cheery.  Her room is really shaping up.  Jake and Mark had to take her to dialysis on Thursday and Saturday because there was problem scheduling 'transport' (aka - ambulance) to take her to Suburban Hospital for her regularly scheduled dialysis.  Apparently Derby affects EVERYTHING in Louisville!

They weighed her finally and at 5'9" she only weighs 107 lbs!  I had guessed 110 and Jen guessed 105 - so she split it right down the middle.  It is hard to see her so thin.

She has been bored and tired.  I think the physical therapy is really wearing her out, in a good way.  I will blog more later on the people we have met at the rehab center (yes, it is more of a nursing home, with a section of rooms for rehab/medical patients --- but rehab center just sounds so much better!)

Lisa has been sleeping quite a bit, but visitors are SO welcome!  Barbara, please go up anytime, she would LOVE to see you!!  She is at dialysis on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings. Things have not changed since we shared a room and a double bed many years ago, she sleeps so soundly that you can hardly wake her up.  So for those that do go and see her, don't worry if it looks like she is comatose... that's her interpretation of sleeping beauty.  

I am in Boulder, CO today visiting friends and will be home on Sunday.  

Thanks for your prayers!
