Day 5 Tuesday 03/06/07 11:00pm


BOOT CAMP HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED !!!

There is no longer any more laying around in bed eating white cake donuts capped with white frosting and multi-colored sprinkles waiting for a specially-trained golden retriever seeing-eye dog delivered by the fireman husband of the nurse that works in ICU. If this seems like a weird statement, ask Karen about it later, and I'm sure she will be thrilled to tell you about it.

Anyway, Karen has officially been transferred from the ICU to an upstairs room to begin her rehabilitation (see above pictures). Her physical therapy nurses (pictured above) have wasted no time with her determination to get better. Within an hour of her new address within the hospital, they had her up and walking down the hall, if for no other reason, just to escape her roommate for a little while.

Her doctors report that as early as tomorrow she may be moved to a remote rehab center closer to Puyallup, WA. to begin an intensive recovery process.

**** On a side note, the doctors did not find anything within the results of the angiogram to determine what caused all this. It is truly a mystery. ****

At the beginning of this whole ordeal a wise man said that we are not in control of what happens next, God is.

Those pictures remind of a TV show we used to watch. "We can rebuild her. We have the technology. We can make her better, stronger, faster" (bloop bloop bloop bloop) Watch our Michael. God help us all.

Many people up here in Ferndale (150 miles north of Seattle) praying for you Karen!
Please tell me that the "wise man" who made the comment: "We are not in control of what happens next, God is" was not Michael.
That is way too grown up for him!
