update on Karen. She is making very small gains but they are gains. She still has a lot of pain but instead of 9’s and 10’s. The pain levels are 8’s and a couple of 9’s. They are talking of moving her to St Paul, MN. to a rehab hospital next week. She misses David so much and wants to be home so bad that she just wants to go home but the docs are saying she is not strong enough and say we will be in the rehab hospital for two or three weeks. That means that we will be 9 to 10 hrs away from family and friends over Thanksgiving and I pray that we will not be here for David’s birthday. Thanksgiving weekend will be very, very hard on the both of us. I know some will say that they thank God that Karen is still with us and should be thankful for that and believe me I am. But, Karen has said many times that she is scared that she will never make it home and all I can do is be hopeful that we do and encourage her that one day we will. Pray for Karen and pray for us as we approach the holidays. God Bless All.
Al – We only know you and Karen through Long-Dangerous Trails but we still want you to be aware of our prayers for both you and Karen. Bruce
I am praying for Karen. I pray that she makes it home and sees David on his birthday. I pray that the very small gains grow each and every day, and that she wakes up every day in less pain than the day before. God bless you and David, and God bless our Karen.
Amen, Jennie.
Keep the faith, Al. Karen’s baby steps are in the right direction. You can do this, Karen. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you both.
Slow and steady is good. The fact that she is missing David and home only means she is getting better. It is a good thing. Things are getting better, hang in there!
Thanks for the update Al, I was thinking about Karen this morning and wondering how she is doing. Your family remains in all our thought’s and prayers.
Al, thoughts and prayers for you and Karen as we approach the holiday season. Thank you for keeping us updated on Karen’s progress. Hugs to both of you.

Thanks for keeping us updated Al. Are you remembering to take care of yourself for when Karen can come home? Hugs to you, Karen and David.
