It has been a week and a half since moving to the NRH. Suzanne has been spending about 3 hours per day doing intense physical therapy. This includes weighted leg lifts, stair climbing, balance exercises and transfers in and out of the chair. The goal is to improve her mobility and independence upon returning home. We have just heard that this should be at the end of the month. We anticipate she will be home for a few months before returning for further operations in preparation for prosthetics. Being out of the hospital environment will allow her to eat better food, spend more time with the baby (and me), and be outdoors while preparing mentally for life ahead. We’re all very excited about the news and look forward to updating you soon.

Great news about coming home at the end of the month. Just in time for spring in DC. Spring will be in the air - just in time for your homecoming.

That is such wonderful news! I will pass that along to the Holy Angels community as they are praying for her consistently. The students pray for her daily actually and they always ask and comment on how strong she must be.
