Thanks everyone for their comments. I really appreciate knowing that you are still watching anc following JoLinda's progress. It seems harder and harder to keep you all updated. I'm not quite sure why. This week has been o.k. As JoLinda says, "I'm alive and so we're good!" She is still having a hard time on doing much walking. We try to get outside and walk around the block but it has been cold the past few days. The treadmill stopped being interesting to her until about 2 days ago. She started just doing 5 min. but this morning was able to do 10. Her memory is still not there. Flashes of things and of memories come and go, but no real details. Makes it hard to talk to her about things, because to her either certain things haven't happened to her in her mind or she mixes things up. She is doing better with sitting in Sacrament. She was able to sit through the whole meeting yesterday and only said she didn't feel well one time. Later Gma came over and JoLinda couldn't remember going to church at all. Short term and long term memory still have a long way to go. She has been a lot less argumentative this week and we all enjoy that. She still is doing well on getting ready each day, but still can't remember things like her clothing. People and noise still bother her and make her really nervous. I think about all of you continually. Matter of fact, I'm having a hard time sleeping just going through everything, every detail, and every blessing we have been through over the last 3 months. You all have truly blessed our lives and I don't know how I can ever repay you. Love you all so much, Laurie
