Hello everyone- wanted to give you all a brief update on the latest. I apologize in advance for not being the writer that Steve is :) .
These last two weeks have been focused on 'recovery', which means gaining back my body strength and endurance, allowing my wound to heal, the bruises to subside, and my heart to get stronger. I've had many visits to the doctors (cardiologists, infectious disease, vascular surgeon) and am managing a potpouri of medication. The doctors say it is good to move around, so I am doing my part. It is heartwarming, and a little overwhelming, to get back into 'society', as there are many loving and caring friends that have been concerned. Steve and my mom , aka "Gaga" have picked up the lion's share of home duties- truly saints!
There has been a slight 'detour' in my recovery which has required more medications and doctors, but everyone is very much focused on getting me through it. So...keep those good thoughts and prayers coming...I need and appreciate them!
The kids are doing well- much appreciation goes to all of you for stepping in with food and rides. Steve and I are blown away by the love and concern that you all have shared with us. How are we so blessed with such amazing friends??!!! It is helping us keep our focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. (is that a bad metaphor to use at this time?? :) )
Please keep Steve in your thoughts too- he is doing so much right now. Your kind words keep him energized.
Finally- on Sunday (5/23) the Arcadia Fire Department will be honoring the three people that started CPR at the field at Little League Closing Ceremonies. (Windsor Field, 12-1). When we visited the Fire Department last weekend, they told us that if Mary, Sue and Mathew hadn't started CPR, there really would've been no point in all the work that the paramedics did when they arrived. It would've been too late. Frightening! I can't even begin to express my appreciation to these three amazing and courageous individuals for saving my life, but I will try on Sunday.
Hoping to be back to the 'ole Jill' soon- Jill

Thank you for the update Jill. I'm sorry for your detour but I'm glad it is being taken care of. I'll be in touch soon about another dinner but please know that you can give me a call if there is anything else you need. Thank you Steve for taking such good care of Jill! You are both so blessed to have each other.

Hi Jill,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the detour is only a bend in the recovery road. :-) You look FANTASTIC in the picture with the paramedics. It was fun to see Steve at Casino Night and chat with him for a bit. He looked great and was a calm as ever...Steve stays the same, which is super!
Here to...
...your continued recovery
...your kids, who are troopers
...all the continued support from family and friends
...the fantastic trio - Sue, Mary and Mathew
...and Steve, who has been there for you, the kids, extended family and found time to keep us all informed - THANK YOU!!!
It sounds like Closing Day will be special tomorrow. Annie and I will miss most of it due to a conflict. Caroline, John and my parents will be there. It will be wonderful to honor and thank the selfless trio (Mary, Sue and Mathew) who saved our friend! Wow, that hits you and we are forever thankful.
Hope to see you soon and again great to read more good news.
Love,
Kelly
Hi Jill--I know you will continue to have smooth sailing despite the detour. Will come back out early next month to take you to lunch. In the meantime--more good thoughts and prayers coming your way to all the family, but especially to you and Steve. Hugs--Susan
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you're recovering, Jill! I continue to pray that you're doing well. My mom said she saw you in church, and I was happy to hear that you're feeling well enough to do your regular weekly activities. :)
