Case Management Meeting

From Alex: Today we met with Dr. Neal, the Rehab Unit Medical Director, and Linda, the Case Manager. They both were thrilled at Noe's rapid recovery and progress. Based on the Rehab team assessments (physical, occupational and speech therapy), Dr. Neal expects Noe to be discharged sometime around January 14th! This, of course, depends on the surgery scheduled for January 7th to replace the bone flap. After a long tiring day of therapy, Noe ended the day smiling and encouraged by reading through many of the comments on the blog herself! Thank you!

Please continue to pray for Noe's stamina through rehab and the headaches she has continued to experience. Noe still cannot receive visitors at this time. Thank you for the encouraging comments and especially the prayers. God hears them all!

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." Psalm 119:105

We pray for you every day.

Hey Noe -

It does not surprise me that you are recovering probably quicker than they expect you to but they don't quite know how amazing you are like we do. Remember though you can't do it all in one day so make sure you pace yourself because there is no doubt you will be back to 100% before you know it. Can't wait to see your smiling face......HAPPY New Year!

Hi Noe! We have been without a computer for about 4 days and it was driving me crazy to not be able to check on you every morning. I finally had to go buy a new one....gulp! And what do you think I wanted to look at first? Of course I wanted to find out how you are. I love the top ten list! I am so encouraged and uplifted by you and your family and how God is using all of you in a powerful way. I am amazed by how many He has touched through you. Sam prays for you every night and I pray for you throughout the day. Keep plugging away. I really want to see your smiling face in January! Much love and hugs and prayers to you and Alex and the boys!

Hi Noe!!
These last two blog updates have been filled with many positives!! Yeah!! Noe, if those doctors and nurses knew the 'spunk and determination' of the woman they are dealing with, they would not be toooo surprised at your amazing progress!! : ) (That, and the many, many prayers going up for YOU and your family!!) I know the rehab can be draining, Noe, but we are all supporting you and 'cheering you on' with each step, and of course your amazing husband and sons are anxiously awaiting your homecoming!! You have a possible date now!! Exciting!
Love,
Nancy Arreola

Hey Noe:

Your progress is wonderful, wonderful news! I have been seeing alot of my Grandpa Stanley, and he keeps asking me how you're doing. He has an old-timers home remedy for you, although I will caution you I think it involves a racoon pelt and a shot of brandy! Hey, at 93 he must know something!
It is so nice to hear that you are having some giggles during your days in the hospital. We all can't wait till we can have you back to enjoy the simple things with you.
No doubt you will work harder than anyone, but amaze everyone.
Love, Audrey

Holy smokes...I just got through reading through the "21" comments on your blog. I'm bringing up the rear of course but nevertheless the excitement is in the air for everyone who's been making frequent visits to your blog. If no can visit in the hospital, why not just visit the blog. The next best thing to do.
Oh my gosh, things are so improving for you because of your hard work and determination, not to mention the Lords inspiration as well. It's great, it's wonderful and joyfull news that Alex has passed on to us ni'ele ones out here.

So it looks like you might get out of the hospital soon. We're excited for you, Alex, and the keikis.
We're all praying to the Father that he will give you the stamina to continue improving in your therapy sessions. We also pray that he gives you the patience to endure the days ahead. Trust in the holy spirit to which he has promised to be with us forever.
As for Alex....a big Mahalo for being the supah man you are. You are truly a lover of God and a man who continues to set an example. You rock!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight " Proverbs 3:5
