A small update

Today, Monty flew in from Oklahoma. We are all so glad that he is here! Mom is continuing to make small steps towards recovery. Today she was able to get up with some assistance and walk to the bathroom with a walker. She then walked back to the bed with the walker. This might seem small but in reality is a huge step.
She also will be moved out of ICU tomorrow and down to a post surgery room. This is also a good step towards her recovery. We are all pleased with her progress thus far and pray that she will only continue to make these small improvements.
The family is still planning on meeting with Mom's primary surgeon on Monday. We all hope this meeting will reveal what her recovery process will en-tail so we can start making plans. Tonight we all sat at Mark and Martha's and talked of the things to come over the next 6 months. This was a good conversation among the 10 of us. Much input was given and received by all. I am so blessed to be a part of the Hooper family where we can all share our hearts and be received so well without fear of judgement! God has truly blessed us. My prayer is that through all of what Mom is going through and is about to go through, that God may been be seen in her every moment and others will ask what is different about Mom. I pray that that would be a way to share the word of Christ with others who can relate to her story.
I hope to blog again on Monday after talking with the doctors. So please look here again Monday night!
