Sunday afternoon, Kaylee says her goodbyes; but she promises Susan that she will return soon. We can't wait to see her again. When Kaylee does return, Susan will be home and walking about.
Eric Pickett, Susan's boss, comes to visit. Indeed he is the BEST BOSS she's ever had. You couldn't find another more golden.
Will you look at the size of that salad! We are so glad that she still has her appetite.
Okay, now for the milestones:
Dr. Shree reported that Susan's sodium is at 130 which is great! He even said that her vitals are steady. Later on, Dr. Nguyen came in and was very happy with her progress (keep the prayers coming). He told Susan that "this is what I promised you; you would not get sick." She does get tired, but he said that it was common and natural.
Dr. Nguyen also said that the only thing that's really keeping her here is her ability to get up, walk, and go to the restroom. He may even have her catheter removed in a day or two. Guess what? The catheter is gone. They removed it today. She's able to do her business on her own.
Her "tick hand" is smaller. When asked when it will be completely normal, the dr.'s think with the next chemo; but we think sooner than that. Susan's doing so well in healing herself - thanks to all the well-wishes and prayers.
That afternoon the therapists returned and THIS TIME Susan walked all the way down the hall and back.
At this rate, Susan may be home in 2 to 3 days.
I want to thank everybody for their prayers. Obviously they are working. But let's not forget Susan's will and tenacity to get better, too. She really wants to go home. There's no place more nourishing than the love of home and family.

I'm so happy that Sue is making progress every day, maybe even every hour. Ray, we've only met once (when you got married) but I admire the courage and love that you are providing for Susie (sorry but it's hard for me to give up names that I called people when I was young - I still call Doug Sonny and I probably always will). Your comments on her being your hero brought tears to my eyes and I pray several times every day for all of you to come thru this. It was so great to see pictures of all of you and being updated on this "journey" is so unselfish. I can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to hear and see what's going on way up here in Minnesota. My love and prayers to all of you. Love G (cousin Gina).
WOOHOO!!! WOW, what you have accomplished in just a few short days, amazing! I think you deserve a new "rapper style" nickname like Tenacious Sue or something. Has a nice ring to it, no? All our love and prayers!
