Update-7/5/09

Sorry for updating so late folks! Patti has been making huge leaps everyday. Within the past three days Patti has been sitting up for longer hours, walking minimally (with a walker) with limited assistance, and (my personal favorite) joking around quite a bit! We have all been overjoyed to again experience Patti's contagious smile and laugh! Hopefully we'll get a picture up soon (with Patti's consent) so Patti's supporters can see how far their prayers have gone! Patti has been eating normally--although she claims the hospital food makes her nauseous (Thatha however enjoys the hospital food!!). Her daughters have been providing a steady stream of good home cooking and plenty of fruit. We have daily been incredibly amazed by the progress that Patti has made. We thank you for your prayers and ask that you keep Patti's continued rehabilitation and transition from the hospital in your prayers. We will be reducing daily updates to approximately 3-4 times a week.
