Man Has This Summer Gone By Fast








I can't believe how fast time has gone by, both this summer and the fact that we are closing in on a year since my mom's accident. She is doing really well, we see improvements slowly, but surely as time goes on. When she walks she is putting her whole foot on the ground when she walks now, but her walking can only be compared to snail's pace:) There has not been any recalling of the accident (which will prob. never happen) nor most of the 6.5 months she stayed in the hospital. Her short term memory is in tact now, she forgets things every now and then, but don't we all?

In the last month and a half her and my dad have gone to NOLA, come to Austin again and had quite a few visitors in Houston (we thank each of you that has gone to see her).

Today she had her first appointment with her doctor since getting out of the hospital. She told me that the doctor was happy with her progress, but that she needs to move more-so work outs are going to start up again:)

Up next is a big birthday for her at the end of the month-so we'll all be going to the city of her birth to celebrate her life.

Overall, we are extremely blessed, she is a walking miracle (she just doesn't know it).

Hi Luisa, You look great! We haven't visited your blog in awhile and you're right, the summer has gone by too fast! Thanks for all the new pictures.

Hi Luisa,
It is so amazing to see how wonderful you are truely doing. My visit in Houston was very delightful. It was so nice to see and speak to you in person. The pictures are wonderful, but do no justice as to how wonderful you really look.
I bet your family cannot wait for the big celebration in NOLA. Have a wonderful time and a Very Happy Birthday.

Hi Luisa and family,
just wanted to say hi and let you know that we are thinking of you and praying for the best with everyone, for your New Orleans family during Gustav and for you during Ike.
In Lafayette, we were very fortunate. Hope to hear from you soon. Take Care
Love,
