Lori at Home

Lori is so glad to be home. Doctors have ordered her to rest, so she's been sleeping in. Tuesday, she had her first shower since April!! Waiting on a new shower chair that should make that easier for her. Several friends have visited her to drink wine and eat pizza..

She's continuing the therapy started at Shepherd. She's trying to regain some of the strength in her arms and hands. Seems to take all day just to do the "basic" things she needs to do. Still treating the sores (which includes having to turn from one side to the other every 2 hours throuhout the night).

Thank you for all of your thoughts, prayers, calls, cards, visits, and support. It has meant so much to us.

love,
the sneeds.

Dear All,
We can't tell you how happy we are to get this news, we have all been waiting for this day to hear that "our girl" is home again. Thank you Lord!!!
We know that she has a long hall ahead of her but she will make it, look what she has done already.
We will be watching Johnny on House tonight and we are so proud of him too!!! What great kids you have.
Love,
Jan and Walter

Glad to hear you're home Lori. I remember the side to side turning every 2 hours, but I never had a stomach full of wine and pizza to offset the rolling. I imagine your gas bill will be through the roof since you'll be taking 2-3 hour showers after going so long without. Take care and keep up the hard work.

Delighted to hear this good news. Watched Johnny late last night after getting home from 8th grade football (Mitch's #1 son). It was obvious you had trained him well over these last few weeks - he looked as though he knew his way around a hospital! He even held his own with House. Keep up this progress. Know you are stir crazy and ready to be out and about. Love to you all, Myra
