Uplifting News from Carl
Dear family and friends, I have Faye home now since March 4th, and she is recuperating very well. She is doing everything that is asked of her from her home health care nurses and physical therapists. She is in good spirits and we are looking forward to a complete and full recovery. Faye is still sore from the surgery and tires easily but she has started baking bread again and is trying out her computer. I want to personally thank you for your prayers and encouragement while Faye was in the hospital. It meant a great deal to me to have someone with whom to converse and share with when tired and alone after hospital visiting hours were over. I am hoping the worst is over with for now and we can start to enjoy life together again. We have been extremely blessed with the gift of life and are so appreciative. Love to all, Carl

Good News-Faye Mapley
Hello dear family & friends,
I brought Faye home from the hospital last friday, 3/4/11. She is really glad to be home where it is quiet. She is being seen here by home health care nurses(RN's), and is responding well. She is still very tired and quite sore, but has a good appetite and is resting well, along with our daily exercises as prescribed by her physical therapists.
We are both very grateful for all of your prayers, get well cards, personal phone calls, prepared meals, and loving support. Your email support to me has been especially appreciated as the last 3 weeks all I have done is go to the hospital(37.6 miles one way) to support Faye, and maintain our home as well as time permitted. The days when I left home @6am and returned home @ 8PM, both tired and alone, your loving emails were especially welcomed. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Faye & I are especially thankful to God for giving us more time together, as each day is a gift. We are eternally grateful for all of our loving friends and family.
Love, Carl

Remembering Jane
A Tribute to Jane Groombridge from Cathryn McIlmurray February, 2011
She was my oldest ( known her for 59 years) friend, I don't remember a time I didn't know her. She was like my older sister, went on vacations with my family, church, school, Sunday dinners, always a major part of my life. Losing her is so major I can't tell you the devistation I feel. Florida, basket making, life in general is so altered. I'm grateful to my family and friends to help me get to the point where I can write about it. Jane was Jane, a true friend, often difficult at times, but always there in time of need. She loved to shop, check out new places, go out to eat, exercise, and hang with friends. Oscoda will definately NOT be the same, she loved to keep everyone on their toes. She made special birthday treats for anyone on their birthday, even though she couldn't eat it, being a diabetic. Thank you for putting her in the newsletter, the picture is from her daughter's wedding, she looked fabulous that day. I guess God needed her more than we did, she is now with my older sister, who was truly her best friend who died five years and six days before Jane. Rest in Peace Jane.

Update: Faye Mapley
Hello dear friends & family,
Faye is recovering nicely in cardiac rehab. She is still extremely sore and tired, but is walking with assistance each day. She spends three hours in rehab each day, two hours in the morning and one hour in the early afternoon. It is truly amazing the things that one takes for granted each day as we move through our daily routine. When one has major surgery, loses strength, and has to relearn basic motor skills again, it is a slow process. Fortunately, Faye is in one of the top 5 cardiac hospitals in the US, so we have been truly blessed with doctors, nurses, and physical therapists skilled in cardiac rehabilitation.
If everything goes well , Faye will be discharged next Friday and return to our Florida home with home health care until such time as she can function with my help until recovered.
We thank you all for your prayers, generous offers of assistance, get well cards, and concern. It has meant more to Faye, our family, and me more than you will ever know.
Love you all,
Carl
