Hi again. Just another little update to report. Mary is still doing pretty good. We had another sand volleyball game last night and again Mary played. She did really well this week. She saw the ball alot better this time, and she just looked more comfortable out there. She had quite a few good hits and even good sets! More times than not she just had a smile on her face, and that makes our whole team have a better time. She didn't even fall down one time this week either. Even Mary noticed that! She said on the way home that she felt better out on the court this week. I was so happy for her. We all were. The next big step now, is getting Mary back to work. I think she is maybe going to try to jump back in as early as next week. It will be slow going at first, (who knows, maybe not) but I think she is ready. She needs it in her life. She just has so much time right now to think about things, and I feel it really gets to her. She needs something to occupy her time and give her a purpose. I thinks it will be hard for her at the start, but I think she's ready for it. She thinks so too. Please keep Mary in your prayers for this next big step down the road to recovery. It has been quite a journey so far, with many, many, bumps in the road, a few minor detours, but she is still going in the right direction. Thanks for all your help! Have a great day!
