Good morning to all of you. We are so glad you have been here for us and we are grateful for your support and love. Wendi is doing well this morning. Her voice is getting stronger and she is really excited to get ice chips (when they finally let her have them). The speech therapist will be in to see her this morning to determine whether she is swallowing correctly. When they have determined that foods and liquids will go to her stomach rather than her lungs, she will be able to eat and drink. She has a few specific food requests and the way she talks about food makes us hungry. She even teases the nurses about bringing her food. Bribing doesn't work apparently :)

We will continue to update you on her status. We aren't sure when they will release her, but we know she needs to be stronger and eating well before she is allowed to go home. She is still in the ICU so visits are limited to family, but we appreciate your help and Wendi has been touched by your cards, your love and your concern.

  2. Hi Wendi,
    I have been watching the updates daily and keeping you in my prayers. I am so glad you are on the mend. You are a special lady and you are needed and very much missed back home and in the neighborhood and in the Stake.
    Much love, Sister Sampson, Stake RS

  3. Food, glorious food!
    What is there more handsome?
    Gulped, swallowed or chewed,
    Still worth a king's ransom.
    What is it we dream about?
    What brings on a sigh?
    Piled peahes and cream,
    About six feet high!

    Lyrics from Oliver's "Food, Glorious Food"

    The "Wendi diet" will be over soon.
    All our love,

    Dennis & Cathy
