Visiting Mary on 5-16
I was happily surprised to see Mary look as good as she did. Her complexion was even, her eyes looked alert and she had a ready smile. She tried to reach out immediately. I felt such a comforting warmth coming from her that my deepest worries dissipated. I wish they had had real broth for Mary, I hope I can bring her some real German chicken broth soon, and her recovery will speed up even more! Mary has the prettiest feet! I detected hardly any swelling and she enjoyed the foot massage with light pressure, which is also a good sign.
I have to remember to tell Mary about Pat's competency in her kitchen. What a surprise! Between visiting hours Pat had enough time to go home, and he shared his dinner with me…maybe because I still had ice cream in my cooler and it needed to go to a freezer…his freezer :-))
I am so very much relieved to have seen Mary in good spirits. We joked about food preference or tolerance based on our ancestors, and she went back to recall names of the various grandparents and great grand parents, and where they came from.
With all the love and care Pat pours over Mary, his attention to all the details, keeping everybody on their toes, and the love and prayers from her children, Family and friends, and the strong will Mary has, it will all be good!

Ingrid, Mary R , and all the other wonderful people.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my sister and Pat. I know they are wonderful people and they have some really wonderful friends. These last few days have been very hard for me because I was so far away. I knew that you where there to be with them and that also helped me. Ingrid, I will be arriving on Tuesday, maybe you can teach me to mak good german broth. Sound wonderful!
Love
Reenie
