| Today 16 weeks after her terrible accident and injuries, Kerry has come home to her very comfy home in venice. This mornng the very good news came from the neurosurgeons office that her turtle shell armor could be laid to rest and she could walk without it. Cannot describe the joy I felt at that news, no words are adequate. John said when she stood for the first time, she scooched to the edge of the bed and on the one, two, three--the usual routine for her to lift up--she nearly catapaulted off the bed because the whole dynamic was different without the cumbersome bodycast. I think her ambulation will improve greatly now without that bulky piece on her. She said the ride home was wonderful with the car windows open and the wind on her face. She has been outside a handful of times in the wheelchair only. She said her homecoming felt very very strange but having a nap in her own bed next to John was terrific. She yearned for pizza for dinner after several months of rather dull hospital fare. Three cheers for Kerry and her stoic and heroic and brave fight to come back from lying very near to death on Dec 26. We are all so so so happy to have her back in our world. LYNN |
