Happy Mother’s Day Mom.
Dar asked me to wish you a very special day today and that she is looking forward to seeing you and dad next weekend.
Darlene and I both would like to wish all of our Dar’s Recovery moms a very Happy Mothers Day. We both thank you for your support and prayers and hope that your special day will be a day of happiness and joy.
A very special wish of joy and happiness goes out to our immediate Kentfield family, Happy Moms day to the Stewart’s, Murphy’s and the Spitzer’s. We love you all.
To the Ken Reimers family, we continue to support and pray for you.
Dar had a great day yesterday; back on her soft food diet she is looking forward to having more and more of a regular diet. We will be working toward this during the week ahead.
After physical therapy yesterday we took off on our walk to Ross, Dr Roebken made comment later that Dar looked like a streak of lightning headed for the hills. If he only knew how correct he is. Dar wants out of that room, out of that bed and out of that building as much and as fast as she can.
We were out for a couple hours together before we had to return for more therapy. The fist of the two remaining involved eating ice cream and drinking V-8 juice. The ice cream had the blue tint again to ensure swallowing, (remember, has had no food for 10 days) and Dar was 100 percent right on. All good in the hood as she says. You could tell she enjoyed her return to “real” food, had a grin from ear to ear.
Lastly, her final therapy is the one that probably causes her the most pain and discomfort. O/T came in to work with her arms, wrists, shoulders, neck and hands. The hands are not as bad as they once were but the shoulders and upper arms are really difficult. We hope the tone will decrease soon. Dar’s “peck muscles” are really tight, and causing much pain. The trooper Dar is, she fights the pain and works hard at following the instructions of the therapist
By the end of the day Dar was ready for a nap, as was I.
Around 7:30 Dar dropped off to sleep and I quietly slipped away to return home. This week will be busy, lots of things to do, lots of things to be prepared for, school getting close to the end, students looking forward to summer, crazy time of the year.
Please be praying for Dar on Wednesday, her field trip to Marin General.
Well, I find myself just a little scattered in the writing dept this morning so I will wish all the moms one more wish for a wonderful day today, and thank you all for your prayers and support for Dar and her Recovery.
To my mom in heaven, “thanks mom, you raised me right, you done good, love ya”
Please, please, please, have a wonderful day everyone and thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we love you.

What tremendous strides our "little one" is making! Know you had a good day yesterday, happy you made it home safely, seems always something to be concerned with, your fatigue and "diet", I too wish all the mothers a Happy day, and to our mother in HEAVEN, I know she is looking down, wringing her little hands and wishing she could do something to ease the pain and strain. She is proud of you, no doubt about it!!! As WE ARE. Much love to you both
Very good news indeed, thanks for the update! Now we just need to keep praying that you can spring her from that joint soon!
