Last night Kay had a surprise visitor! While she was enjoying a visit from her Aunt & cousins Penny Marshall (aka-Laverne from Laverne & Shirley) stopped by to say hello to Kay! Penny was there visiting another patient and came by to say hi. She knew Kay had not been there in September when she last visited. Only Kay could manage to get celebrities to visit her in the hospital!
Kay continues to work hard and show improvement. She's now getting to eat real food. She's enjoying pasta with clam sauce...one of her favs!
Kay's right side also seems to be gaining some strength and show some small movements. Her occupational therapist saw her move her right shoulder a bit earlier this week and her walking is improving on her right. Thanks Devin, he's been working very hard with Kay on strengthening her right side!
Yesterday when her family was visiting Kay was able to move from her chair to her bed on her own. Mr. O'Meara tried to get the nurse to help her but Kay responded with "What do we need her for?" and got herself up from the chair and into the bed. That's the strength & determination we know Kay has!
Kay still wants to go home and has been known to ask others to "bust her out". We all have to help her understand that she's making such wonderful improvements but she still has to stay at Mt. Sinai to continue to get better and then she will be able to go home. We wish she and Devin could be in their new house for their first Christmas as Mr. & Mrs. but right now Mt. Sinai is the best place for her...and she gets out of cooking again!
Please send Kay, Devin & The O'Meara family your holiday wishes! Everyone's strength has been amazing, especially during the holiday season!
We wish everyone a happy, healthy & safe holiday season!
We Love You Kay!

Hi Kathleen -
Just back from lighting the 4th Advent candle and saying a prayer for you and your family from all of us at Saint Stephens.
For years, when we'd go ride-the-rides at Rye Playland, the kids would search for the Fortune Teller from Penny Marshall's movie, "Big". Fantastic!
Keep working on your gait and balance. You're young, you're strong, you'll get there. Love, Jeff
Dear Kay and Devin,
Today is a new day hopefully filled with happiness and progression! We love you bunches! You are always in our thoughts and prayers all day everyday!

Hi Kay!
Just popping online to wish you, Devin and all the O'Meara and McDonald families a very merry Christmas.
You are in our thoughts and prayers this holiday season and we thank God you are here to celebrate with Devin your first Christmas as Mr and Mrs.
We know its not the celebration you may have dreamed it would be but it is certainly a celebration -of life, of love, of friendship, of strength and conviction.
Through your challenges you have taught us all so much and as a couple you are an inspiration.
'If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind'
Look forward to the passing of this Winter spell in your lives and the many days of sunshine that lie ahead.
We love you, stay strong and know that many many people are wishing you well.
Happy Christmas!
From Chris, Pat and Family (Ireland)
