The Cherry Ridge Ward Relief Society presidency visited Pat in the re-hab unit two days ago and she is awesome! Bless her heart. She even did her visiting teaching by phone. So like her to continue to put others first. The doctors told Pat when she was in the ICU to count on two weeks in ICU, two weeks in a regular room, and two weeks in the re-hab unit. Today is day fifteen and she has been in re-hab for five days. She was able to attend Sacrament Meeting on Sunday and enjoyed that she was allowed to attend in her dark green sweats. She enjoyed the service but said she thought about her ward family and missed them the whole time. She has a room mate named Deann who seems to love her as much as we do. Pat has received lots of little notes and pictures from her school kids but her favorite was a letter that said "I'm sorry you broke your back and your brain." It came with a hand drawn picture of her in a wheel chair with brains coming out the side of her head. She laughed til her stomache hurt.
