A week ago last Monday, Lynn and I packed up her room at Promise (along with hundreds of cards and letters from her granddaughters and many of you that have been taped to her walls) and helped her make the journey to Orchard Cove in Bountiful. It's a wonderful place, much closer to Linda's home, that has been completely remodeled. Everything is brand new from top to bottom, including a state-of-the-art workout facility. It feels much more like home than the hospital rooms she's been in for the last 10 weeks. A definite move in the right direction.
Linda has had a difficult last couple of weeks and has been dealing with a great deal of nausea and discomfort. Because of this, she hasn't been able to do much with her physical therapy and the move to Orchard Cove last Monday wasn't the easiest on her. Within the last couple days, however, she's beginning to feel better and has been able to resume some of her therapy. She was even able to take a trip outside today in a wheelchair and enjoy a little fresh air and sunshine.
Last Saturday, Linda's daughter Katie delivered a healthy, 10-pound baby boy! His name is Nathan and Lynn and Linda are, once again, very proud grandparents. Linda was able to hold him on Monday and couldn't stop smiling. If you know Linda, you know how much she loves her grandchildren...and Nathan is no exception!
Linda's family wishes to thank all those who cared for her at Promise. She was able to make progress during her time there and they definitely helped her make the transition from the intensive care unit at LDS Hospital to this new rehabilitation facility at Orchard Cove. We know she is in the right place for her to continue her road to recovery.
We also wish to thank Linda's friends and family members who have been by her side each day. Without you, it would be impossible for Lynn to attend to his responsibilities at his job without constantly worrying about Linda being alone.
Thank you.
