I'm having trouble finding the words to express my feelings, guys...
so I'll simply say- you are the BEST community I have ever been blessed to be a part of.
Tamara did have a stroke...but in the scheme of things, not a catastrophic event.
We are cautiously optimistic that she can return to the nursing home Saturday,
and continued improvement will allow us to bring her home for part of the day on Christmas
And Doc is staying in town through the holiday, so when asked "Is there a doctor in the house?" we can say "YES!"
That's a big reassurance.
The residual effects are still visible, but her improvement is, IMHO, nothing less than miraculous.
(anther lantus land miracle)
The best example I can share is when the doctor said "it was not a minor stroke, or temporary ischemic attack- TIA"
Tam said "more like TIAW"...and laughed.
(for those of you unfamiliar with the TIAW acronym...it stands for "T... in a wringer") :shock: :lol:
When I told her about your posts, she cried. I can't wait to show them to her.
(Heck...when I READ your posts, I cried)
And this little piggy is headed off to bed for a long winter's nap...so rather than respond to each post...
will humbly say "Thank you ALL. We really love you guys, and treasure your friendship!"
Although 'Sister Mary Binkshie' ( :lol: anne & liz) LOVED the costume pics...
but wants Cabanabean to know we may have nightmares bout his kitty nuns pic!
with love & heartfelt thanks-
Celi, Tam, and the girls
