Early one morning, about a week before her surgery, Suzi's classmates and friends quietly covered her door with hearts. Each heart held a message of hope: tender words of encouragement, scriptures, hymns, pictures, poems, love, and compassion. She was very touched and moved the hearts to the wall outside her room where she can look at them often. To show our love and support, we are inviting people to add hearts to the wall. If you would like to add your support, you are welcome to bring one by the house (or use the hearts we have here) or please contact one of us for the address. You are also welcome to just send us a message and we can transfer it to a heart for you.

Sleeping like a baby

Here is an update that my aunt posted on Facebook last night:

"Just received this last update on Suzi...She had a good night and today she had a nice sponge bath and got her hair washed; that alone perked her up.  The trach was downsized and the last drain will be removed.  They are starting PT today.  She was moved into intermediate care.  The trach was capped so she can talk, not loud but very quietly which was music to the ears.  Was able to walk to the bathroom with the aid of a walker, but isn't allowed to put full weight on the leg they took the bone from.  She was exhausted but is in good spirits and sends her love and thanks to everyone.  Now I can go to bed and get a good night's rest without worrying.  I know that she is being well cared for and is gently wrapped in Heavenly Father's arms."


My dad sent a similar text last night, but not so many words.  His concluded with these simple words: "Sleeping like a baby."
