Update on JoAnn

No photos today folks -, this is Don, JoAnn's husband. I wanted to answer a few questions she's been receiving and catch you up on what is happening . After 10 days in the hospital she has been home for a few days now. She is improving slowly, has someone from the family with her 24 hours a day, has home health nurse visits as well as PT visits. Right now her goal is to gain her strength back so she can get back to normal activities. All infections are healing well and responding to treatment, nothing new has developed, thank goodness. She still isn't up to individual communications, but really appreciates all your care and concern,and does love hearing from her friends. The family and I thank you all for being so thoughtful and kind. Progress seems slow but it is happening.

Oh my goodness, this is a shock Don!

I had no idea anything was going on regarding JoAnn being ill and hospitalized. I haven't seen anything on the blog and am so sorry I didn't know what she has been going through. Please tell her Bob and I send much love, prayers, and good wishes for a complete recovery from whatever illness she is now recovering from.

Thanks for telling us Don - do hope to see her back here soon.
Please give her a hug from me.
Fondly, Mary

Oh, this is quite a shock! Thank you, Don, for the update. I'd assumed that JoAnn was just taking a blogging break so I haven't been checking in.
JoAnn, I'm very sorry to hear you landed in the hospital and glad to hear you're back home again. I'm glad you're responding well to treatment - that can be such a big hurdle. Please take good care, get your strength back, and be good to yourself. I look forward to seeing you back blogging again when you're feeling up to it. XOXOXOXOXO Kay

I hope you are improving and getting stronger every day JoAnn! I did a Wednesday Wee Ones with Wendy the doll and thought about you. We've always had such fun with our dolls! Just think of all the doll clothes we made! Lots of sweet hugs, Diane

Please let us know how JoAnn is doing - Don or anyone in the family, just a little note would be good.

Meanwhile JoAnn, you are in my thoughts and prayers and Bob and I hope so much you will be up and about, and back here on the blog, very soon.
I'm heading off across the pond to see my family so may not post or comment whilst way - but I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Warm hugs and get well wishes - Mary xoxoxoxoxox
