Jan Get Well!

This has been a fantastic week with an incredible weekend! On the first week of March I was writing about Jan’s firsts attempts at talking. Last week I was boasting that Jan was able to go on wheelchair trips to the cafeteria. Every new step or discovery make the previous ones fade

Today Jan decided to go walking around the Unit (about 75 meters). Slow and at times painful, but she walked the whole distance.

Later in the afternoon, Jan stood up from her bed and with me only holding her hand, she walked from the sink to her bed! She did this twice, as if she wanted to confirm to herself that she could do it

She seems to be intent in challenging everything said in the literature or the conservative estimates from the doctors. Against all odds, she continues at heal. It is her body doing the overtime, the love of all the friends and mine, and the incredible hope of some of you.

Many, many thanks for carrying the hope, the love and the faith.
