Courtney is improved amazingly.
They actually let her get out of bed and take her moniters for a walk
to the nurse's station and back, and she didn't fall down or anything.
The doctors are well pleased.
The fever is reduced and under control, and since she is much clearer
of mind they think she will have a complete mental recovery. They
feel she is enough improved to start some gentle physical therapy to
start countering the physical effects of the stroke as well.
They are treading a bit of a fine line with it, but they say the more
they can do before the heart surgery the better for her in the long
run as she will probably be abed for a good bit after the operation.

The good wishes of all have been much appreciated.

The comjure, hoodoo, and vaudon folk have been busy as well. The child
has been hung about with charms, sprinkled with all manner of
uncrossing remedies, and loaded down with blue. Mama now has a bottle
tree in the yard, and I am making a blue star quilt for the youngster.
Betwixt the good wishing and the working to keep the bad off, this
girl can't help but get better!
