DeeDee is now laughing and speaking three words regularly. She is coming back to us, slowly but surely. Many of you have asked to send her cards which is the lovliest thought, thank you. She will be thrilled getting cards from everyone, and reading them when she's able to (make sure you date them for her and tell her your connection so she can piece it all together - you know her aunt, me.)
I think it will amaze her that so many people around the world have been praying for her; it's amazed me. On behalf of the Spada and McGrath families, thank you so very, very much.

Karen,
ReplyDeleteI wasn't thinking very clearly in December, because my husband's health deteriorated and he got back his high calcium from the sarcoidosis.(He has since recovered almost entirely) But I remember telling you I would pray for DeeDee and hoping that there would be a miracle. You are so blessed with her recovery and I will continue to pray for her full recovery. She is so beautiful and young and she deserves to live her life!
Karen, so glad to hear DeeDee is laughing! That is wonderful. She continues to be in my prayers. Thank you for updating us.
