Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that Tiffany is doing
much better (if you don't know what I'm talking about, read about it
here). She has regained a lot of mobility in her right side... still not fine motor skills, but she's improving more and more each day and can walk with the help of a walker. She has also recovered the ability to speak, thank goodness! There is a delay before she speaks, as she has to really think through what she's going to say before she says it (which, as her husband joked, more people should probably try out sometime), but for the most part she's back to normal in that respect.

They did another MRI on her brain, and it actually came back showing the same amount of damage on her brain as there was a few days ago when she had the air embolism/stroke. Apparently the other, undamaged parts of her brain have really been kicking in and taking over, allowing her to move her right side again and speak. What an incredible thing the brain is! God really knew what He was doing when he designed that one, eh?
Tiffany is going to be doing in-patient rehab in Portland until the end of this week, and then hopefully she will be able to return home to continue rehabilitation here in our town.
Another answer to prayer is that Tiffany has a cousin that has volunteered to work 1 day a week for me! Starting next week, I will get Wednesdays off. And let me tell you, I am so stinking excited. I am going to sleep the whole day I think.
Anyways, thank you all again for the kind words, thoughts, and prayers!
