University Farewell

It was determined that I would be transferred to the IMC Neuro Rehab Unit at the IMC Hospital. What a tender mercy! The only other Neuro Rehab Unit that specializes in conversions is in Seattle. I was so grateful that I would remain close to my children and family.

Prior to leaving University, the aides got me in to "normal" clothes and conducted a swallow test. I choked twice after passing the swallow test, but was soon able to start eating a normal diet. I was so, incredibly blessed to be in a place of healing and love and safety while at the University.

I am eternally grateful to Randy Lamoreaux, who never left my side. He was incredibly patient, kind, generous, and sacrificed so much for me and my boys. He read to me every day, he constantly moved me to keep me comfortable, he transferred me from bed to wheelchair to toilet to whatever, he prayed with me constantly, he was my biggest cheerleader during this most difficult time... while running a business and making sure my children felt loved. Although we are not together anymore, I will forever be thankful for him being in this particular classroom during my life.
