A great day... each day she is better... real progress... her speech now is 99.999% perfect.
Stitches come out tomorrow... Dr. came in and they talked about the radiation program they are working up
for her... six weeks of daily radiation treatments and most likely some chemo after that...
She is in rehab now and they are talking about her going home "next weekend"
She is walking, going up/down stairs alone - with someone hovering right next to her... her spirits are great
Each morning when I come in I can see an improvement from the day before........
Thank you for your concern and the Prayers.... it helped... and will help.

UPDATE 08/20
They released Jo from the hospital this afternoon - got her home and seeing her and the reunion with the two cats and Chloe was something else... do not let anyone ever tell you pets do not miss their humans and
are glad to see them return...
Other than being tired/sleepy she is doing just fine - taking medication and one needs a sharp mind to keep up with what to take, and when... whew...
Her radiation/chemo will be set up in a few days and will run every day for six weeks to start... the chemo may be once a month for a while after that... the "smart people" make those decisions. The good news is
all of this will be done at a Va Mason Facility relatively close to home and easier to get to than the hospital where she was for 12 long days. She will also be getting more speech and occupational therapy on an out patient basis.
Thank you for all of your prayers, phone calls and e notes of concern... it really means a lot during times
like this to know there are so many dear friends out there that care.
