The Good News:


Family & friends already know why I didn't post here for more than two months, but not everybody might be aware of the latest developments. If you were afraid to even ask you'd be happy to know that my Mom is fine, relatively speaking. Not healthy yet by any stretch of the imagination, but considering how long she had been in the ICU in very serious condition we're very excited about her progress. (Damn, we're freakin' ecsatic that she's still alive!). The resulting critical illness polyneuropathy is the big challenge now, but my sister tells me that Mom is highly motivated and in good spirits. She was transferred to the Neurologische Klinik Bad Neustadt, which seems an excellent place for rehab. Our hope is that she will fully recover, as 50 % of patients suffering from CIP do regain complete mobility, but for now we're happy about every step in the right direction, however small.
