Just a quick note everyone. Nellie is back home as of Tuesday. She is still a bit tired and a little weak, but is making good progress and is VERY happy to be back home. She is receiving regular PT and OT here, as well.

Thanks to everyone who have written her, ESPECIALLY Connie, Betty and Judy. Mom appreciates the thoughts and prayers and wants you to know she is thinking of all of you.

Soon the Spring will be here in reality and not just on the calendar. I will post some pics of mom sitting outside enjoying the birds and flowers on the front deck of the Phillips Strickland House...

Take Care,

Update on Nellie

Hey everyone,

The past two months have been difficult for Nellie. In the middle of January she came down with pneumonia ( the result of getting the flu earlier) and was hospitalized for a week. She recovered, but was weak from all that time in bed, so she did two weeks of PT at a local Rehab facility. She did very well, and returned home.

After returning home, she developed a fever again and just spent another week in the hospital. Because of her CLL, she has trouble fighting off infections. She is better now, and is again in the Rehab facility, eager to get working at her PT so she can go home again.

We think she will be in Rehab for at least a week, but we'll see. She is happy to be out of the hospital and back to a place she knows and likes. THe staff there remember her and are very good.

I am bringing her mail to her from her home address, so any cards would be appreciated.

Keep her in your prayers, as you always do..

Thanks,

Jack
