Tue, Apr 24

Today Hillary was back to her 4 walks again, and even managed to make it outside on two of them for a bit with Margie to enjoy the beautiful weather - her first time getting fresh air in almost 3 weeks. She also continues to eat a little more each day - I think she ate most of her breakfast of cream of wheat and a pancake, all of her lunch and all of her dinner (I think it was another make-it-yourself egg salad sandwich). She felt good all day, which always helps. The day ended with a surprise visit by her sister Stevie and family - Carey and the two boys, Charlie and Tommy. Hillary was expecting Stevie to fly up Wed am by herself, but the four of them drove up from So. Cal today and surprised her this evening - she was completely surprised and is excited to spend some time with them the next few days.

Hi Hillary,

Steph Bassin let me know what was going on and forwarded me your blog site. I hope you remember me from book club! It's been awhile. I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you and wishing you the best of thoughts. You look great Hillary (I think the short harido fits you well!). Your hubby has done a great job of keeping friends/family informed on the blog! What a gem. :-)Thinking of you and wishing you the best and a speedy recovery so you can get back to doing the things you love to do.

Love- Heather Hawke

Hi Hillary~

This is Emily Diehl, now Anderson. Diana told me the news and forwarded me this link. I am so sorry to hear this news but delighted to read that you are making great progress. As others have noted, you clearly are a ray of sunshine--what a great smile! I admire your courage and how you are facing this illness. As often as you come to mind, I will be praying for you and for a full recovery.

On a lighter note, I wanted you to know that every time I hear, "What's Going On" by 4 Non Blondes I think of you. I remember you blaring it in the gym in the mornings and singing at the top of your lungs (with Angie I think?). When you knew I hated that song...you played/sang it even more ; )

Well, your persistence paid off. I like it now, and think of you fondly each time I hear it.

I will be checking this site often for updates. What a wonderful husband you have--so great of him to keep people informed.

Emily
