I just want to thank everyone for the kind comments and thoughts. I will be back later, to catch up with all of you more fully. This has been a tough few weeks, and I'm still working on finding level ground. Love you all.

If anybody would like to join us at 2pm mst as we remember Lee, here is the link. Please mute your camera and microphone. Here is the link you can share with family and friends that would like to join. If you could ask those that join to have their microphone and camera turned off that will...

Can I post her Obituary here? If any of the admins doesn't think it should be, go ahead and delete it. I have shared Lee's struggle with everyone, and been fortunate to have met so many of the people here while tagging along with her, but there were other parts of her life that I wanted to...

Hi everyone. It's been a long time since I wrote anyting in this thread; Lee has been locked up in continuing care and I've been locked out and just staying at home. Until this week. The hospital called me on Wednesday to say she had thrown up on the weekend and they were worried that she...

Hi, Skatefans! Lee and I continue along, as always. She is progressing, but it's still slow; the Hospital has locked the doors to all visitors, but the staff make sure we get online facetime daily, and are reporting to me that she is doing well. (yes, they rat her out when she isn't...

Yep... today, I was pushing her to stretch and she told me (in no uncertain terms) where to go, how to get there, and when to leave. I thought the Nurse was going to have a cow...

Hi Team! I have really been slacking in my 'updating' role... sorry about that. Busy time of year. Lee is still <surprise> in the hospital... and she is still doing OK. She is eating well, and sleeping a lot, but her recovery seems to be a bit 'stalled'... not really any fast changes. I am...

Hi there, Skate Fans! It's nearing Christmas, and although I said I'd try to do better in communicating, it doesn't appear to have worked out that way. Still, here we are... Lee has been continuing to steadily improve for the last month, getting stronger a small bit at a time, eating well, and...

Thanks for the suggestion.. I will follow-up on that. I went to the U of A Med School of Dentistry to talk with some of the instructors about this, and they recommended a surgeon, so we're trying to get to him for a consult, too. Why couldn't Lee need something simple, like open-heart surgery?

Hi everybody... somebody pointed out that I haven't posted an update in quite some time... sorry about that. The last few months have been a long, slow uphill battle with little remarkable about it. Lee is continuing to work on getting stronger, but still sleeping a lot and still having...

So we had us a little birthday party the other night... I couldn't help myself.

Good Morning! It's August 9, Day 990 ... Lee was moved to Continuing Care on July 25 - it is a nice facility, attached to our little hospital, so she will see the same doctor, same PT and OT staff, some of the same nurses and assistants... the move was pretty painless, it was a 5 minute walk...

Hi guys! Things continue to move right along, here... Lee is eating everything at every meal, is working on her strength and is generally more alert and focused every day. I got her some of those 'one-reader' reading glasses (yeah, I know... I went to Walmart in Denver to buy some sneakers and...

Hi everybody! Here we are, Day 933... and as I type this, Lee is sitting beside me, eating her supper. Despite her jaw not working properly, for the last week she has eaten everything they bring her, managing it all by herself! Every day she seems a bit straighter, a little stronger, and a...

Hello from Day 908... Lee is still in Red Deer. We had a nice visit from PatC and her husband at the end of April, and Lee really perked up for a bit. Since then, she has been making steady progress. She is working on eating a few meals a day, but opening her mouth is still an issue, so we...
