I also wish to share "partially" good news :
many of you have been sending thoughts for my Mom ; THANKYOU !!
I can now tell you that she could today "move" ... just A LITTLE ... one finger of her right hand ...
I know it will be a long way - and she might never again be able to thoroughly use her hands ... BUT TO US THIS IS A WONDERFUL STEP forward .

Keeping you all in my heart , laura

Wonderful news. Will continue good thoughts for your mom.

14 nights!!! That'll be WONDERFUL!

I'll never want to leave! It feels well earned too as OH will have just got back from Afghanistan and I'll just be finishing my 2nd year of nurses training. We'll both be exhausted lol

...it is with a heavy heart that I announce that a dear colleague of mine has just lost her 20-y-o DS yesterday when she was unsuccessful at waking him...needless-to-say, she has suffered much heartache in her life. Her first DH, who was her [now] deceased DS's dad, passed years ago, from a heart attack, when her DH was a young child. In later years, she remarried and her 2nd DH succumbed to MS.....now this....

Kim, that is truly too much tragedy for one person. My prayers go out to your colleague.

Laura, I'll keep your mother in my prayers for her continued recovery.

Great thread, but I haven't been able to read the whole thing.
Question:
Is there any special things at the lodge that I missed. What I mean is, like at WL, in the mornings you can be the family that raises the flag on the roof. Anything like that? Something that really doesn't get mentioned. This will be my second stay at AKL, 26 days and counting!

I feel like the worst of friends, Laura. I was not aware that anything had happened with your Mom. I am sorry to have missed telling you that I was thinking of you. But I assume your news is wonderful since it just "jumps off the page" at us.

Around the pool they had a campfire and you could roast marshmellows, kids of all ages , they also had binocholars(sp) to look at the animals, and in the evening they have a child's parade where the kids can make as much music/noise as they want. There is also a cooking tour. They do put out a form with all the daily/weekly activities. Is that what you are looking for?

[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

THANKYOU to each and everyone for your thoughts ! It seems they are working !!

I talked with Mom this afternoon and told her that some friends were sending thoughts all the way from US !
She ansewred : Oh ! Such a long trip even for a smiling thought !!!

and added : Tell them I'll be praying for their families - as I cannot do much these days ... but at least I can send special prayers for their needs / dreams !!

Isn't Mom something ?

So I thought to post a photo of her for my friends here ; it was taken 10 or more years ago :
Mom is now even thinner ...

Again , THANK YOU !! laura
