Marie has recovered well from her surgery just over one week ago. Today, she had her forty-six staples taken out, a few days ahead of schedule. The scar looks great and so does her "new" skull. She certainly has been blessed with great healing power!
For the next few months Marie will be working with the Windsor Regional Hospital's outpatient physiotherapy program three days per week, as well as doing private occupational therapy in a clinic in Tecumseh. She also has other plans including to look into volunteering at a local school (as her therapy schedule permits).
It truly is amazing to be sitting here today, with all of what we know (and perhaps won't ever know) about what happened less than three short months ago. To go from a rare event that was described to us by top-notch doctors as "catastrophic" to where Marie is today is nothing short of remarkable. This has been such an inspiring lesson for many of us in the human body and spirit, and the power of community.
Please know that we could never even begin to adequately thank you all enough for your kindness and generosity. You have been so gracious and loving and offered so much to Marie and our family, often even before we knew we needed it. Your support has been tremendous, and deeply appreciated. We also know going forward just how important that support will continue to be for Marie, as she progresses through her journey of healing.
With this new chapter, it will mean a change in how we will communicate with you. We will no longer be posting any updates here. We hope the end of the blog will not mean the end of communication with all of you, as Marie's journey is far from over. Marie, and our family thank you deeply for all of your support. We would also love to hear form you anytime. Do so with whatever means works for you, texting, email, facebook or a good "old fashioned" phone call... haha!
God bless,
Laura & The Kenneys
