"DAR IS HOME"

Darlene is going home today at 1:00. yipeee. Said hi to her nurse today too!! So cool!!!Tuesday we go back to rehab for speech therapy, evaluation for Dynavox Eyemax computer communication device activated when she blinks her eyes and she then navigates through programs. Totally high tech. She has some time on one while in the Bay Area, if all goes well she will qualify for one of her own. She is so excited about going home. She is soooo vey happy.

Darlene is home and so happy to be here. Mav is standing gaurd on the bed with mom and making sure she is being good. Dar has not stopped laughing since we got home. Finally settleing down, I have replaced the bathroom sink faucet, tomorrow Enloe Home Health will be here and I have lots of inventory to store. Yikes, visitors welcome and encouraged, Dar wants and needs to see her “peeps”, me too for that matter.
Will post more tomorrow and bring all up to speed on all the other great things that Dar is doing. Thank you all for your prayers.
Love ya all,
Dar/Danny/Jamiesue
