schedule

Before Sam leaves he is trying to put together a schedule. So many people have helping out, been visiting, and offereed to assist we wanted to put together a more structured schedule over the next month or two. We want Cosima to know someone will be with her on most days for support and companionship.

So far the schedule consists of the following:
Monday - Angele
Tuesday - Jan
Weds - Angele
Thursday - Gracia
Friday - Gracia
Saturday - open
Sunday - Jan

Sam and Zach are going to try have one of them come down most weekends - it would be a Friday through Monday timeframe though every weekend may not always be possible. Once they have plane tickets and have coordinated through work we will post those dates.

Thelma will also be around quite a bit as well but we don't want to wear her out and also allow her to go home for some days so she can get things taken care of at home and rest. Not to mention sleep in her own bed - we all can relate to how much better we all sleep in our own bed.

If you are able to come down for the day to help out please email me at kaylaschober@gmail.com and we will put you on the schedule. This way it will help us spread out her visitors and also ensure she will have someone with her most of the time during visiting hours. Seeing her friends and family is very important to her and a critical piece to her recovery.

Today has been a very difficult day. Emotionally it has been very hard as she is starting to process even more what has happened to her and what it means for her. I cannot even imagine having to come to grips with the extent of her injuries and the long journey to recovery and have been so impressed with her strength. Even though she has been very strong there are obviously times it will overwhelm her and today was one of those days. She is still having significant pain as well and we aren't sure yet of exactly the source.

This makes it even harder for Sam to have to leave this evening as she keeps asking him how many more hours he will be there for today. Knowing that he has started the process to put a schedule in place makes it just a little bit easier.
We would love to have the gift of time from anyone who is able so please let us know if you would like to be on the schedule. This is not to discourage visitors or anyone who is just able to stop by since we definitely want that to continue. We are just trying to space it out a bit and ensure someone is with her as having a friend with you can make a world of difference, especially if you can know in advance who will be there.

Thanks again for all the thoughts, prayers, visits, and cards it certainly makes her family feel so much better when we aren't able to be there ourselves that there are so many people watching out for her.

Sorry for the long post - I have always said I wanted to write a novel but honestly wasn't trying to do that today.
