Meg at home

Elspeth left on Friday Morning, Meg came home from the hospital on Friday afternoon and rested at home. She, Nick and I went out to the Volunteer Park Conservatory on Saturday, which she found to be exercise enough for now.

Nick flew home on Sunday, and Andrew started back at work on Monday, but drives home for lunch with Meg.

Meg is trying to keep busy, but also trying not to tire herself out by being too busy. Needlework is one good solution. Starting to organize her family's old home movies on the computer has turned out to be, like many computer tasks, alternately fun and frustrating!

She's healing and is busy reading books aloud as a form of home speech therapy, including Dr. Seuss books, a loan from a fellow clarinet player.

We've been happily enjoying meals from well-wishers, for which we thank you all.

She has some discomfort eating and sleeping, but has recovered well from the surgery and is making great strides with her home-grown speech therapy.
