Some progress & Rugby lives!

From Ian: Morning from misty Ann Arbor. Yesterday was fairly uneventful with most of it being filled with therapy. I have been told that one day here is equal to five days of out patient therapy. Di is walking on her own, though a bit unstable. This morning she stood to fake a shower so am proud of her. She had homework from speech and had to copy words like 'cat, sat' etc. She struggled with that and took a while. She also complains that her sight is still not that good. Fiona came down last night and I have her sitting in on therapy today. Oh yes, the staples came out. Very easily removed and did not hurt.

Last night a group of students came round from the university to help cheer up the patients. One of the was a huge football player so we had a good discussion on the merits of rugby!!! He agreed that rugby looked tougher. There is a local rugby club and apparantly a girls rugby club!!!! Anyhow, Di was a given a cap which will help cover her head. Look for a picture in the next day or so.

  1. Ian and Diana,
    The Spirit is in your voice. I can't wait to have you back in Midland where your friends can help, as you tell us what you would like us to do. We are all proud of you, Diana, and you look beautiful, with or without a cap.
    Know my love and prayers, Kathy

  6. Dear Diana and Ian,
    God bless you both and also your medical providers. Therapy sounds like a rough endeaver, but we pray for God's touch for Diana through all of her hard work. Ian, you obviously are a great provider and are on top of the medical process being administered to Diana. May God keep you strong and secure in God's love. We love you both.
    Joyce and John L.
