An update from LaShunda

Today, I received an e-mail from LaShunda Rundles, in response to a note I sent her last week.  I did not ask for permission to share her note verbatim, so I'm going to summarize what she told me in my words.

Since LaShunda has returned home from the hospital, things have been very hectic and challenging for her.  While she is still weak, she is, getting better and stronger with each day.  She's had some trips back to the ER, but has not had to be re-admitted to the hospital.

Her progress is slow, but....progress is progress.  LaShunda feels blessed and happy, and is hoping that she will improve enough by the Toastmasters International convention, so that she is able to attend.

In addition to their amazement, her doctors are all optimistic for her continuing improvement.  YEAH!!!  Furthermore, they've told her that when she is able to speak in the local area, they expect to be invited!!  :-)

She isn't taking phone calls, because the outpouring of love from people became overwhelming.  She knows that everyone has only the best of intentions, but too much is too much.  (I guessed that this would be the case; that's why I have reluctantly refrained from calling her.)
 
As you can imagine, she is enjoying being at home is MUCH better than being in the hospital.  At the top of the list of reasons why is that she is able to be with her son.  No further explanation is needed.
