November 18th, 2008 pm
It is 9:08 pm. Again, I am sorry for the delay. As a lot of you already know, Mary has moved into the Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis. We moved in about 4:00 this afternoon. She is all settled in and in her bed getting rest for her first big day tomorrow. From what I understand, she will be worked hard tomorrow, starting in right at 7am. I am actually writing this from Rick Cookson's house, which is where I am staying tonight. Thanks to him for letting me crash here. I'll be honest, it was tough for me to leave my girl tonight. I'm not there. I know she is in good hands so I shouldn't worry. But, I just can't help it. I am going back about 8:00 in the morning, mainly to get a feel of what Mary's days are going to consist of. I know it is going to be a lot of work. They told me she will be very tired after the first 3 or 4 days. It was so nice to see her laying there sleeping with absolutely no wires or cables or tubes in her. Just Mary. She had to be so much more comfortable, and I was so glad about that. The facility she is at is very nice and I hope she will be happy there. I know I am doing the right thing by having her go there, and hope that sometime Mary will understand me leaving her there. Dr. Chicoine said she will probably be there 2 to 3 weeks, depending on her progress. I can't wait to see what the next few days hold. Please pray for this new chapter in Mary's life. She will without a doubt need as much strength as possible. Thanks.

Go Mary, Go Mary, Go Mary...You go girl I know you are soooo ready to do this. You'll have them worn out by the end of the day because you are so head strong you'll do this I have faith. I miss seeing you each morning arriving at work the same time I do. You have to hurry & get better so you can prove this at home thing will work so the rest of us gets a chance to do it as well. Scott I'll say a prayer for you as well because Mary is going to need your patience the next few weeks as she gets frustrated but stronger every day. We're all here for you cheering you on and praying each day.

Scott,
Like I said ternmination, will power and the love of her family will give her the drive to heal much faster. They give you a good workout in rehad. Yes she will get tried from it. But it helps her be more positive and excited to see the things she accomplished.

I love this scripture, it holds me up everyday. In this new chapter of Mary's recovery, I pray for an abundance of strength that will have to come from deep down, especially for Mary.
As I was praying for Mary last night, I felt so renewed in my faith, I felt a sense of peace for your family. Have an awesome day...give Mar (that is what I always called her) a hug for me!!
God Bless,
Lindsay S.
