:-) Dorothy got her first visitors last night! After having a nice afternoon snooze yesterday, Bob brought his brother Tom and Tom's wife Marianne for a nice long visit. They even brought a nice big "goody bag"! They had a really nice visit, and Dorothy got to open about 20 more cards that came to the house this last week. It occurred to me, that this was the first time she felt well enough to open a bunch of cards by herself. She's been getting a couple of cards a day here, and has enjoyed those quite a bit. Then brother Brighton showed up! BIG HUGE smile. Although he came down to visit her in ICU at Sierra Vista, she of course has no ICU memories. She even starting talking to him! She hadn't been talking at all since the tube came out, because her throat was so sore, so that was really nice. Just like we hoped, Dorothy is bouncing back from yesterday's ordeal.Our friend Sharon Rademacher, an angel in so many ways (as her friends will attest), drove up last night so that she can give Dorothy a hair cut today. Wow. Dorothy has been so looking forward to that this week... getting her hair closer to one length. Dorothy's therapists have been so kind about letting us do this - they scheduled all her therapies for later today so the family would have more time together. And brother Tyler is coming up today too! Today should be a very fun day!
