I've been following this and praying but not commenting.....I am so glad your daughter is doing better. It would be so hard for me if I were in your place, not being able to get to my daughter....glad things are looking up!
She got home at 1 p.m. today. She is so happy, and so am I. Last night, all of her caregivers at the hospital gave her a surprise "going home" party. Her dad and stepmom were there too. They all cried and shared what a miracle it is that she is doing so well, and so quickly.
You have all shared this journey with me through your prayers and good wishes. Thank you! I would like to share with you her feelings in her own words...
"This coming Friday will be a bitter sweet day for me. I get to go home!
I say bitter because I have grown close to everyone here.
I remember my first day, when the ambulance brought me from Denver. I came broken, scared, in pain, unsure of my future and hopeless.
The second day I had a breakdown. I felt that I would never be able to walk and would spend the rest of my life in a nursing home. I thought everyone was going to give up on me. I had these thoughts because of the treatment I had in Denver by the staff and doctors in the hospital.
Honestly I was expecting the same treatment here.
But I learn very quickly that wasn't going to be the case.
I was hesitant to trust doctors and nurses.
But every day I started to come out of my shell a little more.
The people here actually cared about me and wanted to see me succeed.
There were nights when I had difficulty. But there was always some one to talk me out of my funk.
I think all the staff had seen me cry and helped my through whatever crisis I was having.
I felt excepted, like this is my new family. I have never felt this kind of warmth from so many strangers. And it wasn't just the hospital this town is so embracing. Praying for people that may not even know. Wanting to help in anyway they can. It makes feel like we are where we are supposed to be.
I have come a very long way in my journey to walk and go home.
I really do owe it to my friends/cheerleaders here.
This past week I have re-learned something new everyday.
I am proud to show off to each shift change what I learned each day.
Some nurses and CNAs I didn't see as often as others. So when I tell them my latest " trick" as I call my achievements or even showing them, some are brought to tears other grin ear to ear.
I can not believe how far I've come.
I can now walk up and down stairs with a cane, I can walk up and down a ramp with a walker.
And a can walk with just a cane.
Non of this could have ever happened with out the outpouring of love and support of the entire staff at Cheyenne county hospital!
Now as my release date comes closer, I will miss my second family.
But I will be happy to be home!
Thank you Cheyenne county hospital for believing in me when I didn't.
Keep up the wonderful care you give!
Love you all!! ❤️❤️"

I am so proud of her!
You should be. That is a beautiful letter of thanks and gratitude. I'm sure the staff appreciated it.
Hello everyone! I finally figured out how to post pictures, so I thought you might like to see the wreck. She has had some trouble adjusting to being home because her husband and daughter had to adapt to her absence, and she feels like they don't need her anymore. All in all she is doing well and getting used to her new "normal."
I hope the picture works, I am new at adding pictures.
Oh my. It is a blessing that she did as well and as quickly as she did.
