gen sat in a cardiac chair for two hours this afternoon. this is a very strenuous workout for her muscles. she absolutely hates being in the chair but patiently puts up with it because she knows it's good for her. gen held her head up again while in the chair. we offerred her a brace for neck support, but she insisted on holding her own for the first hour. she also insisted that we work with her hands and arms. the physical therapist taught us some basic excercises and instructed us to encourage voluntary movement. gen had a few visitors today. she also got some balloons and a plant. this has been a big week for gen and, because there are fewer staff members in and out of her room, she fell asleep early.
thank you for your continued support.

Josh , Rita and I share your pain but we are encouraged bby her progress . Hang in there we're praying for you and Gen , don't think because we haven't come that we don't care. This is a hard thing you two are going through but it will make you stronger in the end. Give her our love , someday we expect you both out here in Arizona to visit.
Love to you both, Uncle Lee and Aunt Rita
