- Mom is coming home for a 8 hour furlough on Sunday! Dad's been practicing transferring Mom in and out of the wheelchair AND in and out of the car. Since he's been so strong and reliable -- she can come home for a one day visit!
- Mom walked 55 feet on the hemiwalker cane (a new record for her). She is moving her right foot much better now (though she still needs the therapist's assistance to maintain her balance).
We're so proud of Mom and Dad! They're both doing great. More later...it's late at the Cathcart house and it's bedtime!!
Oh...here's a suggestion from Dad about visiting:
"Therapy keeps LaDonna busy most of the day besides meals. After supper (5:30 or so) she is probably ready for company.She is not good for long visits, so I suggest you put a mint or life savor in your mouth before you go into her room, and when the mint or life savor has melted in your mouth it might be a good time to say good bye. (That is a trick I employed when I was in the active pastoral ministry, and it served me well.)But don't be misled ... she loves to see her friends and you are most welcome (for a short visit)." Nelson Chamberlin (a concerned husband)

Dear LaDonna and Nelson,
I am a friend of Audi's (we live in the same neighborhood and study God's Word together in the summer) We have kept your in our prayers. From the name of your blog and the text of your favoirte hymn I know that you trust in God's daily provisions - morning by morning - a gentle reminder that we need to take things one day at a time. Audi tells me that LaDonna, an dedicated weight trainer, holds the record of strongest woman in one of the YMCA's. What wonderful training that has been in preparing you for the work to be done in your recovery. Will continue to hold you in our prayers.
Thanks too for the mint hint!
In His Love,
Cathy Lucht
