February 26 Milestones this week. My novel’s cover design should appear in my inbox, my son and his beautiful wife are buying their first home, and … best of all, my daughter is about to be released from the hospital.

Mary is essentially recovered, except for that awkward broken leg, excess fatigue and a slight stutter sometimes, from that horrible hit and run on Jan 4th. She is cheerful and sweet and funny and appreciative and as always, very shy. So yes, in all ways social Mary is Mary again, even if she has no memories of anything from Jan 3rd to Feb. 7th.
As you can see in the photo, all your wonderful cards decorated her room and cheered us immensely. Even the doctor started reading the funny ones.
The next step for us is outpatient rehab and hopefully some fun traveling this spring. We are here in Boulder for at least another couple of weeks, then hopefully back to DC for Cherry blossoms and onto Dar es Salaam for a well deserved rest by the Indian Ocean.
Thanks for your thoughts, prayers and emails. Your outpouring of love and support kept me sane.
