You just never know.........

[mustang1989]

Thank you Ray, Kevin & Joe. 

Joe I'm sorry to hear that. It was close on this end. I had just went to a model show in SA the day prior so she was all by herself that day. I thank God for being right in front of her when it happened. Every time I think about how things could have turned out it scares me down to the core. 

Again thank you everyone who's voiced support, prayers and concern .

Thinking about you and your family Joe.

Man thanks JC.

[Joe Handley]

Thanks Joe, it was tough for Mom and her Sisters (well at least a couple of them, not sure the next oldest living one), but has gotten better over the years.  I hope your wife gets better and as quickly as possible.

[mustang1989]

Thank you Joe.

[Mopar - D]

Joe sorry I was not able to talk today I will give you a call in the morning. In the mean time we will be praying for your wife and you.

Joe, sorry to hear. hang in there, hope all goes well for you and your wife. you'll be in my thoughts.

[mustang1989]

Thanks Dan and Tom. So far she's recovering well. She can speak normally and move all four limbs. Her fine motor skills need some work but she is working real hard to maintain her independence by trying to feed herself and use her hands. She will be in ICU for the remainder of this week and maybe half of next week but will undergo physical and occupational therapy while she's there. I appreciate all the comments, concern and prayers.

Good to hear that progress is being made. Prayers and best of wishes to you both.

[slusher]

So good to hear she is making progress Joe. Your family is in our prayers..

[mustang1989]

Thanks Richard. I found out this evening that the doctor wants to start rehab pretty soon so that is really good news. She's in for a ride but the big picture looks great.

[madhorseman]

God bless You both.

So far.........so good Nick. The prayers are working. There's just no other explanation for it.

[Dave Ambrose]

Best wishes for both you and your wife. I hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.

Thanks Dave.  She's a tough lady and  is willing to do a lot for herself. She's tougher than a lot of men I know................

That's good to hear Joe!  Be prepared to run the wheels off that Stang and have a few languishing projects too!  Mom spent about 1/2 of last year in a couple hospitals and  nursing homes, Dad was up bright and early to go to her side every day if he hadn't stayed night, no matter how far then my sister and I drove there every day we could.  From the time I put new tires on my 200 in April to this January, I had put 10k miles on that car!

Jeez. I hope it doesn't come to nursing homes for her. She's 46 years old. I guess we'll find out in the weeks to come but I'd just as soon she come home. Thanks for the kind words Joe.

 

[Joe Handley]

We almost lost her by May, luckily, things worked out for the better and she is healing up from  some of her issues, some won't go away, but she's doing well enough that we're planning a road trip to where she grew up for what will likely be the final reunion for high school as well as to visit her family there.  I hope things turn out even better for your wife Joe.

[disabled modeler]

Joe....You all hang in there the best you can...lots of prayers still coming.

[tbill]

Joe, glad to hear things are progressing well, very good news my friend.

Glad to hear she is recovering.  My Mother spent some time in rehab a couple of years ago after her earlier stroke.  She came through that one pretty well.  The people in the rehab were great.  Even if she is in a nursing home setting for part of the rehab, that is OK.  It just gives them more time per day to work with her.  Exercise is very important, but so is rest.  My Mother did about 4 weeks in the nursing home based rehab, then came home to about 3 more Months of therapy.  We'll keep her in our prayers.
