June 25 from Bob


Sarah and John have done such a great job in this space but now my turn. 

Donna had a great day today continuing her stability in all aspects of her health.  She continues to heal her brain from the inside and her external bruises continue to fade away.  She still has a noticeable bump on the right side of her head but clearly healing forces are at work.  She again sat and rested comfortably and her actions today were dominated by a determined tapping of her left foot that sure looked like a girl about to dance as she warmed to the beat of the music.  She has a fierce grip in her left hand that is awesome for those of us daring enough to insert our hands there.  Great hand-holding. 

Tomorrow is a big day for our girl.  She is finally going to surgery and going early 7:30 am.  She will have both the pelvic and arm surgery.  With time estimates, she should be done shortly after lunch (if all holds to schedule).   We will be sure to post an update after as there is no way we can contact or respond directly to all those interested.  We so appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers.  They uplift us and warm our hearts.  I believe that all of these prayers make an enormous difference.  I hope you all understand we cannot respond much to all the notes of good wishes as Donna gets our priority attention.  We do appreciate them though.

Sarah is safely back in Alaska but remains intimately engaged.  We’ll have her back to Houston soon.  The guys (Bob and John) hold the fort with the help of many.

I’ll sign off now as I plan to spend some time sitting with Donna.   She looks better every day and she was lying to the side as I left her a bit ago and she looked as beautiful as I can ever remember.  I want to soak this in before she pushes through this next surgery hurdle.  Hopefully by tomorrow at this time we will have her issues down to just one, her waking from her deep sleep.   These one directional conversations we have are interesting and strange.  I am taking advantage of saying all I want to say J but I must say that I will relish being again a smaller contributor to our conversations for the rest of my life. 

Much love and thanks to you all
Bob
