Family & Friends,
HELLO 3 month mark....well that is technically tomorrow, but since Mom is currently asleep I am going to take this opportunity to update ya'll.
The last couple of weeks we have taken a few steps forward and a few steps back. The healing process is definitely a frustrating one. Dad was able to be here for part of last week which was nice. It is always nice when the nurse brings the mail to our room. So thank you to those who have sent their sweet notes. I'm not going to lie, I usually cry when I read them to Mom. I think it's because I need a good cry, but there is never an opportune moment to just decompress. Nick and Elizabeth stopped by Sunday which is a pleasant surprise. I can't believe how much their children have grown!
Mom has had a hard time keeping her spirits up which is to be expected. So I try to keep her spirits up by pampering her. The last few weeks she has been begging me to shave her legs with her electric razor. Well, we had to wait for Dad to bring it down with him, and then I had to remember to bring it with me to the hospital. What I have learned is that the electric razor is just to complicated for me. Between the electric razor and my NORMAL razor the leg shaving was accomplished! I didn't like Mom's peptobismal color toes (mind you I am the one who painted them that) so today I painted them a papaya color.

Needless to say it is the little things in life that we should enjoy. I started to cry yesterday when Mom sat up on the side of the bed. Slowly but surely we will make it out of this place. One way or another (queue the Blondie song).
On another note, I need your brain because my has been on the fritz. I need to have my stuff moved out of my apartment by the end of October, and I do not have any solutions. So my dear friends and family if you can think of any possible solution(s) I am all ears!
Thank you for all that you do!
Much love,
Robyn
