Hello Kitty accompanies Marie at her bedside. It does create a smile on your face when you visit her. Despite of how much she has been through, every little step of progress is something to smile about!
Although Marie may still have a tube in her nose in order for her to get her nutrients and liquids, she has been practicing how to swallow once again. Little sips here and there are huge steps toward being able to eat regularly again. She really desires to have those irritating tubes in her nose removed, but there are some things that she has to accept for now. They are helping her get better and stronger. As hard as it may be for her to smile, we know she will be able to smile at the days to come when she will be allowed to eat to her heart's desires!
Marie is able to sit up in her wheelchair! She is also able to stand up with some help. Her daily physical therapy is very consistent and helpful in getting her back to the old Marie. But we all know that this "New Marie" is going to be a walking miracle of God's mercy and grace. She will no longer need a wheelchair to get around for we know that God will strengthened her legs. Next week, she will try to use the walker and practice little steps! That's something to smile about!
You are getting better, Marie!!!
Be patient and rejoice you are alive!
And SMILE... for we are all cheering and praying for you!!!
A beautiful sunset view graces her hospital window every dusk. Marie and her family are blessed that they can gaze outside this window and know that God holds their tomorrows. Who can resist such a lovely sight and not smile?
