Hello Christine and Travis:

I'm new to the forum, but am very impressed at the numerous warm get well messages you have received, Christine, and felt like I wanted to respond too because you evidently must be a wonderful person to have so many caring friends. So, please accept my wishes for a speedy and successful recovery, and a big hug for that wonderful son of yours.

Hey guys sry i havent been on in a awhile ive just been busy between my mom and getting ready to leave for usmc basic training next month. My moms doing good, she got moved out of the icu and put in the burn unit. Shes still not allowed to have flowers no matter how much i begged the nurses. She really wants people to come visit her so if anyone wants to see her shes in 3k thats the third floor and room 35 in the burn unit if they ask the password is ginger, anyone who lives close enough to visit her please do she really wants visitors. The doctors are saying shes gonna be going to rehab next week sometime and should be home in 3 weeks or less. P.S shes still really loopy from the meds lol.

That's wonderful news!! I'm really glad to hear she is making progress. I will try to stop by to see her after work tomorrow.

Is she allowed any books or magazines?
