Tuesday morning, October 20th

Marty is still doing very well, the doctor is very pleased with his progress. His temperature has remained near normal, which is very encouraging.

The nurses plan to get Marty up today and sitting upright in a chair, which is a huge step. At this point, his recovery will be measured in inches, not miles, so be patient because we are reporting his progress as it happens. We are now on Marty's time schedule, which is be a slow one.

The entire Smith family wants everyone to know how much the prayers, visits and dinners mean to them. Without family and friends like all of you, this would be a much more difficult time for them.

The hospital staff has asked us to remind everyone that with the flu season kicking in to high gear so early this year, to please stay away from the hospital if you, or someone you come in to contact with, is ill. Marty's immune system is in such a fragile state right now, that the slightest illness can cause devastating set backs. Brian and Rhonda want you to know that they appreciate your concern and willingness to come to the hospital to see them, but if you have been exposed to illness, please either leave a comment on this blog page or text them until everyone is well again. Thank you for your consideration.

The Smith Family
