This is Robin's husband with another update on her condition; First off Robin wants to thank all of you for your prayers over the last month. Yes it's been a month all ready since we had to take her to the hospital. She's doing pretty good right now. Thursday she started walking on her own but she's still weak and gets out of breath fast if she does too much. But considering how sick she was her recovery is progressing better than anyone could have hoped for.She's also complaining about the food... Sign in to see full entry.

Entry#223 Update on the Author
This is Robin's husband with another update on her condition. Sorry I haven't written for awhile but with going back to work and keeping up Robin's other blog as well as visiting her in the evenings my time is limited and I do have to sleep some time. Robin is progressing very well so far. She can sit up by herself and gets both physical and occupational therapy at least two hours a day. She still can't walk without help or a walker but we knew that would be the hardest part of her recovery.... Sign in to see full entry.

Entry#221 Writer Update
This is Robin's husband with another update on her condition; She was moved to a rehab center yesterday afternoon to continue her recovery. I know she was nervous about the move because of her bad experiences last year but we were assured that her Physical Therapy would be more aggressive than last time (three hours a day) and I made certain that it might include some computer time so she might get back on line. Since when I go back to work on Monday I won't have as much time to update her blog.... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Robin's husband with another update on her progress so far; She's coming along nicely and her recovery is going well. Yesterday She had Physical and Occupational Therapy(they had her on her feet for the first time in a week and she said it felt funny) but the most important thing yesterday(at least as Robin was concerned) was that the Doctors took the food tube out and she started eating soft foods yesterday afternoon in the hope that she will get stronger. They also started talking about... Sign in to see full entry.

She had her first Physical Therapy session today while my daughter and I were there. They worked on her legs,arms and had her take her first bites of food. So far,though she has a lot of work to do, things look good.Her... Sign in to see full entry.

Entry #218 Update on the Writer
This is Robin's husband with an update on her condition; Robin woke up yesterday and was awake when I arrived. I have to confess that I pretty much lost it when I saw her eyes open and looking at me. I had prepared myself for anything when I arrived. It didn't help that I had been on pins & needles since about 4 AM either so I guess my emotions were justified. She was still on the ventilator at that point but as the morning went along her breathing improved and she became more fully awake. At... Sign in to see full entry.

Her status is still... Sign in to see full entry.

This Is Robin's husband updating you on her condition. As for Robin's condition it's not too good right now. She's very sick with bacterial meningitis and has been semi comatose for a few days. They are filling her full of antibiotics in hope that her body can fight this. However 27 years of taking autoimmune drugs for her kidney transplant makes it hard. This afternoon they had to put her on a ventilator to help her breath in the hope her body can fight everything easier. It's just a wait and... Sign in to see full entry.
