It’s been 25 days since Karen left Stanford Medical Center and journeyed south to San Martin and CareMeridian. As you can tell by the pictures, she has been improving quickly and steadily. Karen can now reach for your hand, scratch her face, sit up, hear you, see you, and feel you. She will also let you know whether she’s happy or sad, pleased or displeased with you. Her muscle tone is good. In fact, Karen’s progress to date can be considered miraculous. We would like to thank the staff at Stanford and CareMeridian for all their support.
She isn’t shooting pool yet, but she is ready for another level of physical rehabilitation. We are beginning to look for another location for her where she can 3 – 5 hours of rehabilitation activities a day. We’ll let you know as soon as we find the best location for her.
In the meantime, thank all of you for your life saving, and miracle bring prayers. The power of the Lord is great, and so are the prayers of all of you.
My God Karen, You look great!!!! I guess you sure fooled everyone didn’t ya! I knew in my heart that you were a fighter and strong minded. And you sure did prove that!! Thank God that you had it in yourself to be brave and have the will to live!!! You are an inspiration to all who feel that at times there is just no hope. Karen, i may have not gone to see you recently, but i need you to know that my heart, thoughts and prayers are always with you. They have NEVER stopped. I think of you constantly. I give alot of the credit to your mom Lois who is truly God sent. You are very lucky to have her as your mother, she truly will protect, guide, teach, and live for you. I admire your mom tremendously. God Bless you all and see you soon Karen!! Luv Ya
Hey girl….I just got the news from Vicky and was totally shocked. We moved to Arizona in Oct. and we’re here for the summer. Last time I saw you was at Santana row and of course you were working and I had just retired and was enjoying teasing you about that. I’m still trying to believe this happened. You are looking so…great!! You have come a long way and will continue to come ALL the way. You are so…strong!! Continue with your strong will to live ..cause life wouldn’t be the same without you!! I have been truly blessed to have been a part of your life….and I know I was not always a welcomed face..when I would always bring you the late air at about 2 in the afternoon!!! We sure had some great times even if it was at work! Knowing UPS…. your packages are probably still waiting for you!!! Karen ..we love you so.. much! Your a beautiful strong person and a very determined person!!!
I love you
Patty
