This picture is Jon and I sharing with the volunteers how much we appreciate the Rochester RMH on the behalf of our family and all other families who stay here!!!  We had the BEST time tonight.  This banquet was to honor the volunteers who had worked on the Annual Thrift Sale for RMH~500 volunteers who work year long to make the sale possible.  This year they made over $330,00 for the upkeep of the RMH!  What sweet people!  So many came up to us and talked with us afterwards.  We are just so overwhelmed with all the volunteer workers that help out here.  It is amazing what is done here, the volunteers do so much stuff.  We've stayed at a few different RMH over the years and there is NO  RMH like Rochester RMH!!!  

This morning I got up early and spent the whole day with Selah.  She had a great day, got to spend an hour with therapist.  She gave me some great ideas and she was so encouraging to us.  She notes everything that Selah does and encourages us on all the progress she makes.  she was VERY responsive today and that was really encouraging to me.  I needed that.   She did have a time when her heart rate went up for a few hours.  She didn't have as high of a heart rate as she usually does & her blood pressure didn't go up too high but it did last for a few hours.   She is starting to wear a "nose" on her trach.  It is a covers her trach and works like a nose to filter air.  It will help us not to have to use the humiderfer all the time once we get home with her.  We are so blessed by the nursing staff here, they work with her trying to do everything they can to help her.  The last few weeks we've had student nurses and they have been wonderful too.  They seem to really care about the patients & the families also. 

We are waiting to hear on our next step with Selah, please keep us in prayer and as always pray for Selah!
