Dear Family and Friends,
Joe is snoozing. Ginny and I took him for a walk around the halls, and he did great. We each hold on to his belt in back for safety, but he walked himself! He was able to detect 3 crosses on a picture from about 40 inches away--Ginny said that distance represented an improvement so we're pretty excited. We're leaving now--we'll go to Mass tomorrow at 8:30 at Sacred Heart in downtown Atlanta as we haven't visited there yet. I'll then visit with Joe some more until it is time to leave for Omaha.
All for now. Love, Lisa

It is so nice to see Joe up and walking on the treadmill. I'm so happy you get to go home soon. It's always much more pleasant to be at home to heal and it's great that UHC is providing an experienced nurse to help you with everything.
ReplyDeleteI know you will be much busier when you get home, but I do hope that you will have time to provide periodic updates. God Bless you all.
Wow! We just read the last 3 postings and are so thrilled to read about all the progress over the last week and see a picture of Joe working hard on the treadmill. We are very happy that Joe (and Ginny) will be coming home this Wednesday and want to offer anything that we can do to help. We printed out the picture of Joe to remind us to pray for him every day for continued recovery. We thank God for the miracle He has already performed in Joe and for His continued grace and touch. We love and miss you, and pray you have a good trip home.
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to finally meet Joe and talk with him for a few minutes! Just a couple of weeks ago I saw him from across the room, sitting in his wheelchair, so to see him today walking the halls at Shepherd with Ginny and his parents gave me goosebumps. I'm glad you folks in Madison are getting the Leahys back! Peggy Jones (Atlanta)
