Melinda had a good week. She received a good report from her therapist. They said she has improved and doing well. The last 2 sessions, Melinda is working harder on her balance with her walker. Praise God we haven't used her wheelchair the last 2 days. Speech is working really hard to get Melinda talking louder. We again have homework this weekend. OT is using a resistance band to strengthen Melinda's arms. She pulled it 3 times and said, I'm done my arms hurt. OT said, no you have 20 more. Melinda went to see her family doctor and we are going to be seeing a specialist about her eyes. She still has double vision and she tested about 20/50. Hopefully with some special glasses this will help her eyes and motor skills improve.

I would like to say a few words how thankful and appreciative of all the prayers, support, love and concern everyone has shown our family through these last 4 1/2 months. Thank you to the District Attorney's office for your support and donating your time so I could be with Melinda. xxooxxo Thank you William S. Key employees for your support. Ft. Supply School, "You are Awesome" Thank you students and staff for all your acts of kindness. To our church family, First Christian Church, thank you for the dinner and baked goods auction held for Melinda. To everyone that donated to help with our expenses. THANK YOU! We are truly touched and blessed. Thank you for the calls, visits, get well cards, prayers, a kind thought or concern. I thank all the doctors, nurses, therapist and medical staff that helped with Melinda's recovery. And most of all, give thanks to God our lord and savior. Please continue your prayers for Melinda. God Bless you!!
