Reunited

Here we are; the happy family. It has been a long time since we have been photographed together and we are glad to present our strong and vibrant Suzanne. Sue spent much of this weekend resting, but today she had an opportunity to read all of your comments posted here on the blog. She’s overwhelmed by your constant support. Tomorrow she restarts her therapy to build the necessary strength for the future surgeries. Thursday, her surgeon will assess her legs and devise a game-plan. And the following Monday we are scheduled for Baltimore to look at her hands. Much progress has been made, but there is still much to do…

    Keep smiling!

  9. Hi Suz, Patrick and Gabby!
    There is nothing better than seeing the picture of your beautiful family together at home.
    Suzy, I just have to inform you that Cassidy has the same outfit that Gabby is wearing in the picture - it was a gift from your mom. Our girls will dress just like we always did...the same! I love you soooo much and I just have to compliment Patrick on doing a great job with the blog.
    Love, Lauren

  31. There's our girl!!! You three look great. Suz, you may think you were far away from your friends this whole time, but the truth is, we never left your side. You crossed our minds several times a day since you were admitted to the hospital; and Patrick's blog made us feel like we were right there with you. Okay kiddo, you have a lot of work to do, so get to it, and let us know where we can help...and more importantly, come by and see you, Patrick, and Gabby.
    We love you guys,
    Scott and Carol
