Mom was up in a chair today and they are trying to find her a bed outside of the ICU. It looks like she will move this afternoon. She is still dizzy and struggles with her balance -- all caused from the location of her blood clot. Her words are not coming to her as quickly as she would like and she continues to be tired. Both the physical therapist and the speech therapist have been in. Today, mom could only recall 8 animals in a minute that is down from 15 the other day. The physical therapist was pleased with her walking and is hoping to take her for a spin around the floor tomorrow.
We know there are lots of folks who want to come and visit. Mom wants to be out of ICU and feeling stronger before she visits with folks. Give us a few more days and we will try and open up the gates. She does enjoy hearing your good wishes, rest assured we are reading them to her all the time. xo -alissa

I AM POSTING THIS ON BEHALF OF SONIA
Dear Jules
We all send our good wishes hoping to scare the dizzies away and end the fatigue and fogginess.
Kip and kin, David and twins and I are off to Mineral King tomorrow for camping out with the little ones. No horses this year because Sam wants to go and is too little.
Bud is claiming he needs to stay home with our latest new dog who was just spayed. We think he's getting soft.
We expect a great progress report on you when we return. In the meanwhile know that you are in all our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Sonia
Julia, next time the speech therapist asks you to name animals, don't forget Dick Cheney!
love, marge & bill
Hi. Hope Julia rec'd Jose's and my well wishes/prayers we sent by email. Sending them again here. We're still in a bit of shock. Soooo pleased to learn she's recovering. QUESTION: are flowers allowed in ICU or should we wait until she gets a room? Much love,
Mark Kelleher and Jose' Cisneros.
