Karen “graduated” to a regular room today! She is feeling good and eating well and the change in scenery lifted her spirits. Before the move she took a short walk with me down the hall and did very well. I was also able to take her up in a wheelchair for a short visit in the sunshine on the 12 floor open air terrace before it got cloudy and windy and too cool. She seemed to really enjoy that as well.
The doctor said that they are still trying to get her into rehab but feel like the Sticht Center was reluctant to take her directly from Intermediate Care Unit (IMC). He said that either they will decide to now take her into rehab (now that she is on a regular floor) or they may decide she doesn’t need it and send her home without rehab (but not without spending at least a few days in a regular room). I will keep you posted on that.
I know that she wants to see all of you soon, but she is still not ready for visitors at this point as she needs to concentrate on continuing to regain strength and continue her recovery.
Praise God (again!) for all the blessings he has given us!

What a blessing to have Karen in a regular room. Now we just need her to be in a room at your home!!! Glad she got some more "rays"!!! And now has some new scenery... Keep up the good work. I agree that the visitors need to wait a little longer so you can put all your strength into getting better and not trying to entertain guests. Great news to hear after a rather hectic day at work. Hugs to all of you!!!! Love, Dobbie, Ken and Mama Dobson
It sounds like things are looking up. Congradulations on moving to a reg room. Hope strength and good health continue to come Karens way.
This is wonderful!
We are just thrilled that Karen is in a regular room. Her progress these last several days is just wonderful! Just think how far she has come...I'm glad there are no visitors yet because I worry about germs. Give her a big hug for us and we continue to pray for both of you.

Great news "Dad" Rose!!! That makes me smile to know that she is starting to feel better.
Please give "Momma" Karen a giant hug from me and tell her I love her very much! I hope to see her soon (but not till she is ready for visitors!)
I am so happy for all of you and so greatful for answered prayers!
Love - Cari (and Derek) Woolard
