Special Update: The Linda 'Miracle' Graves Release Date Pool

We're thinking that, given Linda's progress, we will be wending our way home to Vernon sometime in November. So let's have a 'pool' to guess the date. The winner(s) of the pool will receive a box of Christmas baking. To help you with your medical prognostications, here are the particulars about her physical condition as of today (Oct. 31): she has 2 lower abdominal tubes, both still draining; she is off all antibiotics and her temperature has been stable since last Thursday; her incision has healed except for a 1 -inch section which is closing slowly; she can throw her legs out of bed, stand up, and walk down the hall and back to bed (with a bit of huffing); her white blood cell count, hemoglobin and blood sugars are stable/normal. Please indicate the date which you think Linda will walk out the doors of Foothills and into her waiting Ford Exploder. I will keep a master list of all guesses.


So Chris (the nephew) and I went off this afternoon to a party supply store and bought Linda a pump and balloons. She's already given one dog away to a little girl in the cafeteria and has another one ready for Dr Temple when he comes for Rounds tomorrow morning. Great exercise for those hands!!! Thanks, Kim, for the reminder!
