Hello All,

As Laura said there has been sooo much progress over the last week. Marie and I took it easy this weekend as this past week was her first of full week of Physio and Rehabilitation. On Friday due to some lovely traffic and inclement weather I was only able to visit for a brief period of time. However we did get to spend all day Saturday and Sunday together.

Saturday got off to a bit of a rough start as Marie was a little bit frustrated, although she was feeling better in no time. She started telling me all about the week of physio and how she was able to use her shoulder muscles in her left side to move her arm. As she was showing me this I thought that she has already shown us a mean bicep so this is promising that the movement will continue to move down her arm. Later on while we were watching a movie I was moving her fingers and all of the sudden started to feel some resistance which is how her shoulder started to moving as well. We were and are so excited!

Sunday Marie was allowed to sign out with and have a dinner date with the family. She decided we would go to Jawny Bakers and the whole day was just so excited. When she was outside walking to the restaurant she was so happy. She said being outside and not in a hospital or rehab centre was amazing and she felt like she wanted run down the street, although she opted for the safe option of walking there instead. She had a Sunday for dessert and said it was simply the best thing she has ever eaten. I think the visit out gave her new vigor because after all of the commotion she was still awake and going strong although I bet she slept well Sunday night.

Thanks again to everyone,

Love: Allison
