Dearest Pegita and everyone,
I have been waiting to post this wonderful update, but have been waiting for the right time to do so. “Our Lori” left the hospital last night and went home to be with her family!!!! It’s time for Praise! and more Praise! The trach and feeding tube have been removed, and she is eating solid foods and loves her Pepsi and Cranberry juice! LOL.
She has her hospital bed and wheelchair at home and is doing very well. The in-home nurse was there today giving instructions and everything is going well.
I would have posted this earlier but Lori did not get home until about midnight California time, and I found out at 3am my time.
I spoke with Lori on the phone this evening and I can make out most of what she has to say, but a speech therapist will be working with her.She is as sharp as a tack, but the words just dont come out right sometimes, and her eyesight is great! She is so happy to be at home with Jon, and the kids. She has been in the hospital for 3 mos now and now she is home with all those who love her.
Thank you Prayer Warriors from the bottom of my heart and soul for all you have done with helping Lori. If it had not been for all of you, I’m not sure what would have happened, the power of Prayer is amazing and I am forever grateful to each and everyone of you, you are all amazing. To God be all the glory! Amen!
With Blessings of Love
and a Thankful Heart
I send my love to each of you.
May God Bless you all.
In Faith as always,
Marianne

I forgot to add that I am so grateful and full of thanks to the almighty that this did NOT end up being another Terri Schivo story, I was so scared. I loved Terri and fought for her as all of you did. But Lori had her beloved “Jon” who did everything he could when the nurses and doctors did not. He got her drinking liquids, when the nurses said only ice chips, he cooked at home for her and brought it to the hospital for her and got her on solid foods, when the doctors said only soft mushy foods. He made her work her arms and legs when the phyiscal therapist passed her by, Jon was her Angel standing by. We should all be so lucky if it ever happens to us to have someone like my BIL Jon.
Its an happy ending folks!!!
God Bless
Marianne

Thank you for sharing the good news about Lori. I bet she’s really happy to be home!

Prayers continue for ongoing improvement in her speech and with any other issues she may face during her recovery.
