Jill is still making great progress but things have slowed down. To go from ground zero to leaving the hospital in 9 days was remarkable. Everything was happening at the speed of light. Now everything is a day to day progression. This is still very positive. Most of her improvement is in the form of walking around a little more each day. She has attended each of Trent's last three Little League games, however, sitting through an entire game is very taxing. Today her big walking session was a quick trip to the market. This was quite an accomplishment considering her trip of 40 feet the first time she was back on her feet. She has not had any additional fainting spells or anything of the sort since her last trip to the doctor so each day has been a baby step forward without any set backs.

I believe Jill will be the next to post on the blog so I am going to check out for now. However, I've heard from numerous people that they would like to make a comment or say something but haven't been able to do it for one reason or another so I've set up an account that anyone can use if they want to send a message. Since a lot of people may potentially be using the same account, make sure you note who you are at the bottom of your message. Here is how you do it:

1) Underneath the latest post is a comment link. Click on that link.
2) Scan down to the bottom of the page below the other comments and type your message into the white box below the words "post a comment" - Don't hit "post comment" button yet
3) Next to the words "comment as", click the down arrow and click "google account"
4) Now click on the "post comment" button
5) You should get a Google Account asking for email and password. Type in sendjillamessage as one long word in the email box and shewillreadit as one long word in the password box and click sign in
6) You should see a word verification box toward the bottom of the next page. Enter the letters you see into the box (these change every time so I don't know what will be presented to you) and click on "post comment".

You're comment should be posted for Jill to read. This sounds a little complicated but it is pretty easy once you have the email and password. Sometimes the word to enter in the verification box is hard to read so if it doesn't work the first time you may have to try it again. Hopefully, this will give access to all of those who would like to comment but haven't been able to do so.

Also, if you are interested in stopping by to see Jill, send me an email with the time that may work and I'll check with our schedule. The time window we put in place was good for a day or two but the family schedule has reduced the effectiveness of that time window. She still is resting/sleeping half of her day as she wears out pretty quickly so there is no hurry. She certainly will not give anyone demerits for being patient. My email is stevehisey@gmail.com.
