I was thinking about canceling my shower next Sunday, since mom's in the hospital and it didn't seem right, but my sister just called and had set up a conference call with her, my mom and me, they told me that my sister had planned on surprising me by being at the shower, but the drs think mom will be released from the hospital next week, and so my sister is coming to town to help my mom around the house and help with the shower. AND my mom said that she can sit up by herself now and swing her legs (Thursday she was paralyzed from the ribcage down) so she's getting better faster than expected. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers, and please keep them coming for a full, speedy recovery for my mom. I'm giddy with excitement finally about my shower.
