Day 18. Bob's on his way home. Mikele just called me from the car, on her way back from the San Jose train station. Mikele's moved from the hotel today - she gets to use the hospital condo for a small fee for 7 days, maybe longer if it's available.
The PT says Dorothy's legs are strong for a coma patient. Even though today's schedule got juggled all around, she passed another milestone today - she used her legs to motor her wheelchair down the hall to the "day room", and sat with Mikele and Bob for lunch! She saw several people in worse condition, which was encouraging for her. She put on her own shoes during OT. They're teaching Mikele how to get her in and out of the wheelchair and bed, so she can help out when Dorothy comes home. She played Trogdor online today. She's been suffering from an upset stomach, low energy, and dizziness. They have remedies to try in each case. Dorothy now has a tentative discharge date from rehab! It's 3 weeks from this coming Wednesday - February 27th.
I finally remembered to get the rehab mailing address from Mikele. For those who are interested in sending cards, letters, flowers (M says no teddy bears please), the address is:
Dorothy Hushing-Kline
c/o The Rehabilitation Center at SCVMC
751 S. Bascom Ave
Wing E, Room 25B
San Jose, CA 95128

Oh, Alanna. Always outdoing everyone. "THE BIGGEST HUG EVER!!!" hahaha.
I'm going to send something! I'm cheering for you Dorothy! You mean a lot to me.
Whee~ That's fantastic! I'll probably send some stuff~
Oh, and it might be of note to you that today we bought Spot a singing valentine. I think it hurts him in his soul.
Yay! Spot's soul got hurt! On a different note, I will be glad to send stuff if I build up the initiative. I'm sure I will, with all of the initiative that I've been forced to gain at this school. I'll draw you a bird maybe. That seems fitting I guess. By the way. It's really cool because my little security code thingy says "mycause" I am destined to draw you a bird or something!
my soul did not get hurt. it was just embarassing. keep it up dorothy. will keep prayin

Dorothy, Though I've been silent for a while, I've continued keeping the healing thoughts and prayers going, especially as I do my regular Labyrinth walk at Grace Cathedral in SF. Keep up the good work; we need your strengths and goodness on this planet right now. YOU are a hero.
