Great News Regarding my Aunt Loretta!!!

I just received an email from my cousin Lori telling me that my Aunt has been discharged from the hospital and has gone home.

Awesome news!!!

Monday night I received a call from Lori giving me the latest update. She has been improving steadily each day, and has been working with the various therapists as she continues to recover from her multiple strokes.

Her speech is better - she is now saying phrases instead of just words. Her short-term memory is coming back, which is huge! And, her right arm (which she still is unable to move) is starting to show some improvement (they have electrodes working on her muscles).

As of Monday, Lori said they were going to meet with her "team" of doctors and nurses on Tuesday to determine her upcoming week. They had mentioned if she continues to show improvement, she could possibly leave at the end of the week (Sunday) or early next week.

So today's news was great... and a surprise!

Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers!
