she is improving - she isn't as congested and her throat isn't as hoarse - you can hear her voice coming back some. She thanks you all for all the love and concern - she loved the hugs and said that she sends them all back to you - so sorry - I can't deliver them in person to you each. Thank you for loving and caring for Loretta - we still need to keep her in our thoughts and prayers, she thinks she is out of the woods - but I fear there is alot more imrpovement needed - before I feel good to say she is on the mend. She is still very sick and awful weak. Unconditional Love, Shirlene

Shirlene, Thanks for keeping us informed! Also, thank you for being there for her! I know she loves to see you walk through the doors! It is NO FUN being put in a nursing home away from your family and friends. You are in a strange place with very few of your belongings and although you make the best of each day, it is a terrifying feeling sometimes. I knew I was going home when I got well but it is lonesome to be away from familar surroundings! Please give Loretta my love and tell her that I am praying for her. Thank you so very much for being there to give her the love and friendship that she needs so much right now! You are very special to care for her the way you do! Hugs, Linda

Yoriko, thank you for caring enough for Loretta.

Thanks so much for the update. All those months I was without a computer I missed your updates on Loretta. I spent hours reading posts and catching up on her. Thank you for generously sharing your time with her and keeping us up to date on her progress. Hugs and flowers to both of you.

Angie, thank you dear one - she will need them, too.

I always feel as though I should put on my uniform & get to their bedside & look after them when it's someone I know & love. Don't believe I'll ever get where I don't feel that way. Guess it comes from yrs. of nursing & loving & caring. Thank u shirlene for keeping us up to date. Lillian *

Mary, you are welcome and thank you for your continued prayers.

Thanks so much Shirlene for keeping us informed of this gentle woman's health. I am so pleased you are close enough to visit her and even though we can't personally give her hugs we know you can give her great big ones from us all.

Thank God for our wonderful nurses and medical staff - they are angels in disguise. Please forward my love and a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Love and blessings Chris
