SHE'S BACK BABY! YEEEAH!

I am excited to say Aunt Karen is out of the hospital- finally! She is staying with mom-mom and pop-pop and is so happy to be out. I told her about the blog so maybe when she's feeling better she'll get a chance to read it. Thank you everyone for all the nice words and thoughts and prayers for her and our family! She still has a long road ahead of her but is getting better everyday.

Messages to Karen

I am starting this section for anyone who would like to leave a personal message for Karen. She can read them once she get's better and we can also print them out to read to her now or hang in her room to cheer her up.

Updates

I got an email from mom-mom this morning and she said Karen has her up and down days. They did the MRI on brain and back but haven't got results yet. The day she was there Karen didn't have much to say but when pop-pop and sierra went up she was talking alot. They are trying to find out why she can't raise her right leg but she can feel it if you tickle her foot. Myra her boss has been ther alot and put pillows under her arms to keep the swelling down.

Link to The Herald-Mail

Here is a link to a website Amy told me about- someone who saw the accident wrote about it.

Karen's comeback

On Saturday August 9th, my aunt and uncle (Steve and Karen Eckenrode) were in a serious motorcycle accident. Sadly, my uncle did not make it and my Aunt Karen is currently at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.

I started this blog so everyone can stay updated on Karen's recovery. Since we all aren't able to visit her everyday to know how she's doing, please post any updates, thoughts, prayers etc on here. Thank you for keeping Karen in your thoughts and prayers
