Strolling down the Sky-walk


Hi all followers!

Mom got to get up and stroll around again today. She wanted to go outside, but with it being a little chilly, they weren't able to. Dad said they went down the "sky-walk" which is a long sky bridge to another building at MD Anderson. Hillary and I went down it one of the days we were there. It's very wide and long. So long actually that they talk you by cart to and from because it is around 1/2 mile (that's what we were told anyway). They were walking along and guess who they ran into!!?? Dr. Rao....I'm telling you, that man is everywhere! :) He was all smiles and chatted away with them. He said as of today, everything still looks great enough for discharging her tomorrow! She'll meet with her oncologist Tuesday and they'll stay a few nights at a hotel close by the hospital.

Some long time friends dropped by today to visit mom and dad that now live in Houston....Janis and Steve Hawkes. Thanks for coming by! Mom and dad appreciated it and were happy to catch up on things! :)

**As your probably noticing, mom and dad will probably be coming home mid-week this week and a lot of people have been asking us about visitors and meals being brought, etc....as of now, due to doctors orders (Dr. Rao said that since the flu is going around and mom's immune system is lowered right now...), please no visitors for a little while until her body can build back strength. We'll keep you posted on days/times it will be good to drop by or bring food. THANK YOU again for all your sweet support and prayers! We hope you understand.

Love, The Forrester Family :)
