Sunday/Monday Update

Hey all,

I’m sorry for the delayed update on this but we were having some trouble accessing the log in last night. Mom is doing very well at the new facility and continues to improve each day. She advanced to step 6 out of 19 last night and all of the doctors and nurses that we have spoken to have similar hopes for her progression to continue. Yesterday she was able to sit up on the side of the bed (the first time in 5 weeks!) and was ecstatic to be able to do so.

Thank you all so much for your continued concern, thoughts and prayers. We truly appreciate each and every one of you!

With love and appreciation,
Melissa and The Fam.

    Oh my goodness, we dearly appreciate the update! I can just see Lisa beaming on the side of her bed, just ecstatic to be up! Lisa's strength and character continue to amaze me and I can't wait to give her a big hug! I'm sure she is counting down the steps herself! Thank you all so much for keeping us on the team informed, because I realize how exhausted you all must be also! You are Lisa's rocks and your love and support has kept her going! Take care, all of you!
    Love,
