I've got to start being nicer to Linda. I had forgotten how tall she is so when she stood up for the first time in 11 days this morning, I realized that she can still probably take me. :-)

That's right, during her 20-minute "dangle" session earlier today, they stood her up for a few minutes and she did great! She was working hard to help steady and support herself and she seemed to be doing just fine. She's continuing to move and flex her feet frequently as well as her hands and arms.

Linda's making progress each day but it's going to be a long and steady road to recovery. She's just now finishing up a 3 1/2 hour dialysis treatment and there are no other tests or treatments scheduled (at the moment) for the rest of today. Hopefully she'll be able to get some much needed rest.

The number of cards and letters on Linda's wall continue to grow and they definitely cheer up the room. The giant card and CD from the Primary kids was a special surprise! The love and support from each of you seems to grow each day. We can see and feel the difference it makes in not only Linda, but in each of us as well. Thank you.

P.S. A big shout out to the "Yard Fairy"! You know who you are...
