    Bonnie, you're right. But each baby step is a victory. She will be on her feet walking the hallway later today. More baby steps. Joe

    Yay! That's progress! She'll be walking OUT of the hospital in no time! Prayers to you and Saundra, Joe.

    Hello Joe, How very kind of you to keep all of us posted about Sandy's progress. It sounds like she is doing great!!! Have the doctors mentioned when they plan on releasing her? She will be so happy to get to be in her own bed, I'm sure! Give her our love......Keelie aka MichaelaMarie.

    The doctors say "as long as it takes." However, Wed. a.m. she is doing much better and the surgeon told her "You're tough!" -- Joe

    Saundra's going home!
    Sandy will leave Baylor Medical Center on Thursday. She's getting stronger every day. Still pretty sore & easily fatigued. -- Joe

    Such fantastic news, and aren't you wonderful to post it! It is not unusual to be in hospital for a lengthy stay...for me it was 9 days. It sounds like she is doing a fantastic job of recovering and she is very lucky to have you there. Thank you again Joe, and please send love and hugs to Saundra.
