Monday 9/22 the Night Shift

First, I'd like to thank-you  Mia for spear heading Team Suzie-brilliant!  Second, Danny thank you for sharing your thoughts from your journal-you are one amazing man!

Wow!  What a difference a few days, a new hospital and some physical therapy makes.  Janine & I popped in for a visit last night.  The new digs are great. Private room, three big windows and a gradually healthier Suzie.   She seemed a bit tired.  I think it was her visit with Mia & Will in the afternoon that tuckered her out.  Trying to keep up with those two chatter boxes would be a challenge.   Then in walk Panico & Moss-I do believe the mere sight of us made her roll her eyes or maybe it was the fact we kept talking over each other time and time again. 

She was asleep when we walked in the room.  She opened her eyes within seconds.  When I walked over to hold her hand-she raised her hand in mine.  It made my heart skip a beat.  This was the first time in all my visits she could physically reach up and grab my hand on her own-YEAH!  Janine mentioned some show they had done in  NJ which every time they talk about they still laugh.  Yet another eye roll from Ms. Moon.  The TV was on and there was a commercial for Dancing with the Stars.  I said "Hey, maybe they would be doing some Salsa Dancing later" & "I bet they couldn't hold a candle to you and your shimmy-shake"?   I got a recognizable Suzie grin.   As we said good-bye and wished her sweet dreams-she gave us a wink.  It could have been a twitch yet it seemed very deliberate, oh so we'd like to think?  

That's the Monday night update.   Look forward to hearing everybody else's experiences along the way.
