Mary Ann graduated from the hospital to home. No, that doesn't mean she is all healed, it just means that in the slow process of overcoming the devastation of a stroke, she is now able to do all that she was doing at the hospital at home. She cannot walk on her own, she cannot feed herself, but she can talk in sentences and she can do exercises of both upper and lower body. She gets around with the use of a wheel chair. The next goal for Mary Ann is to use a walker with little or no assistance.
Sunday July 10 at 12:30, we are going to be in Midway to see our granddaughter get baptized in the pond at Hilma's home, which is just across the street from the Homestead. Hilma's home has been used as the headquarters for the Palmer Family Reunion during this past week.
Ada Palmer's baptism will be a big adventure for Mary Ann. After the ride from Provo and watching the baptism she will be able to rest on a bed at Hilma's to regenerate preparatory to returning to home.
