Dear Family and Friends,
This might be the first time I am actually able to give some really good news.
I think the surgery on Monday to remove the clot that was still situated on the brain, and the drain they placed there that is still in place has really made a difference.
When I visited Hal today, he was more alert than I have seen him. He had been off the ventilator for 3 hours, and he stayed awake for the full 4 hours that I was there.
He is lifting his left arm and his left leg, which he had not been able to do before.
I feel really positive about what I saw today.
The good thoughts, prayers and good Karma are working. Keep up the good work all of you.
From the bottom of my heart I thank all of you for everything you do. My daughters, Carrie and Tracy join me in these thoughts.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families.
With love to you all, Linda
