Hi EveryoneI. spoke with Alva's daughter Sue earlier today. She said every time she speaks to mom, she's sounding better and better! Last week she was cleaning the house!
Sue will be visiting in San Francisco on Weds this week and hopes to be able to call me so both she and Alva can speak to me! I hope so.
I've received 9 cards in the mail for Alva and will send them out on Monday. Sue said mom will be thrilled to see them.
I'll update again on Weds with more good news I hope.
Until then, keep the cards coming!
Love to all on Valentine's Day.
XOXOXO
I was in the bookstore today and found myself thinking about Alva’s posts on the book thread.
Glad to hear she’s been out to the library.
She sends love and thanks everyone for their cards.
Alva you are an inspiration!
biggest love to Alva over the airwaves xxx
Alva if you are lurking. Sending you big hugs and hoping you get your strength back. Miss you bunches!
Thank you Lea.
Elizabeth, just got your card today.
I texted Alva just now and she CALLED me! She sounds great, very lucid and she only halts a tiny bit here and there between words. I'm amazed at the recovery she's made in only 2 months time. She's out walking alone again and shopping with her partner. She hasn't tried riding the bus yet but plans to. She's doing lots of gardening and reading books to regain her mental acuity. Writing is still difficult for her at this point. She can cook but has some trouble opening cans. Alva seems to be in very good spirits thankfully, and I was very happy to speak with her. She sends her love to all on AC!
