November 13, 2008 am
It is 7:33 am. Mary had a pretty good night of sleep. She seem to get some quality hours in, in between being poked with a needle, breathing treatments, and verbal tests every 2 hours. They have changed Mary's medication for her pain, and it is one that is supposed to make her less drowsy. To me, it seems like it is working. She has been alot more alert the last day or so. More of saying words and alot more restless and moving around. Let me tell you, she still has alot of strength! I notice her head being able to move around more the last couple of days also. She will pick it up off the pillow and maybe turn it slightly, then put it back down. It might not sound like much, but trust me it is. I haven't been in yet this morning to see her, as the staff kind of kicks us out from 6-8 am, mainly for their cleaning and testing. For some reason, I feel like we might have a pretty good day today. Just the way her alertness has been, makes me think, maybe, she is starting to be alert for longer times. We'll see what the day holds. I hope my feelings are right this morning. Very slowly each day, we seem to get a little more of our Mary back. Your comments are wonderful. I can't wait for the day she can read them and see how many people love her and care about her. Please keep praying for Mary. Thanks.

She is doing so well Scott!! I'm so happy to hear she has made such progress. Sitting in that waiting room hearing you say "I just want her to wake up" broke my heart, but now she is well on her way to being herself again.
How are the kids doing being away from you both??
You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
It's great to read your updates everyday and to hear that Mary is making such progress. The strength the two of you have amazes me. Thank you so much for keeping all of us so informed of Mary's recovery. I'll keep praying and thinking good thoughts for you both and your entire family.

Scott, I am so glad to hear of all of the progresses over the last week. It makes me feel wonderful to know that there is another couple out there that love each other like Craig and I do. What a great testimony you have been to other couples who may be arguing about silly stupid things or holding grudges towards their spouse. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving so Craig and I can drive over to see you both and give you a big hug. Lots of Love, Connie

Hello Scott & Mary,
I wrote to you the other day, but don't think you got it. I'm going to figure this thing out! I have a lot of prayer partners praying for your family! I think of my cousin everyday! Tell her we all love her. Thank you for putting this site together, it really helps us to stay in touch. Scott, I know your taking such good care of Mary, but don't forget about yourself!
Love, cousin anne:)
Scott, it is so wonderful to get the update each and every day from you on Mary's progress. Each morning I have a prayer for Mary that she has a good day with much more progess then the day before. Each night a prayer that Mary and the family has a peacful rest at the end of what I am sure is a trying day. I know when my mother was in Barnes not to long ago fighting cancer and was healed it really meant alot to comunicate thru emails and all the prayers going out from everyone and I think this Blog is just wonderful for all who care and love Mary and for you as well to see the great progress in Gods hands as he heals. It is not easy for the care giver as well as the patient. Stay strong with Gods Love and Healing and I will keep praying as well for your peace. Your love really shines thur just like Marys. Thanks again for the updates. Co worker and Friend Sue Kelle <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><
I will visit Grandma Elsie in the morning and I am sure she will talk about Mary. She loves all of her grandchildren so much. Tell Mary that we are proud of her strength and that we think of her often.
Love,
Jill
Unbelievable, you guys have 1079 views in this thing in such a short time. That's just testament to how many people truly care for you and your family. It is really inspiring.
Thank you Scott for updating this site daily, it's a great way to hear about Mary's progress. She is on prayers lists at church & I pray for her recovery & for your families strength. God is our source of compassion & comfort, may He give you peace & healing for Mary.
Love, Aunt Faye
