March 7 Evening

Well some great news today! Grace has moved to a normal ward. She has no morer tubes or canulas or even ecg leads!!! She is free to walk around the hospital. Yah. She is still unsteadynon her feet, but improving ll the time. She will have to have some rehab to get her walking back to scratch and we are expecting to see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist tomorrow to find out why she is still whispering. Gracie finds this a bit frustrating. So in the next few days she will be having physio to get her walking and we will do lots of practise as she is now allowed to walk out of the ward. This afternoon Jonnie and I walked with her down to the main enterance and had some afternoon tea. This eas actually quite a long walk for her, but she did very well. We are now back to me not being able to stay with her. Tonight when Jonnie and I left she was quite sad but also being very brave. She is looking forward to getting some school work so she can start catching up and then looking forward to getting back to school and to church with all her friends. We know that many of you may want to visit Grace, can I ask that you get in touch with me or one of the family to check that she is up to a visit before going? Thanks, this will just make sure that she has enough time to rest. Again we are so thankful to our wonderful, amazing God who has so graciously answered your prayers in healing our Gracie. Thank you once again.
