Paige spent the day settling in after three weeks in the hospital. The pain in her shoulder and neck comes in the morning and lessens during the day.  Her eyes will be checked again tomorrow.  Paige's short term memory remains a frustration to her.

As we catch our breath after the rapid pace of the hospital, we have a few clarifications. Some of you have pointed out that Don't Worry, Be Happy is sung by Bobby McFerrin, not Bob Dylan. You are right, but the song is labelled incorrectly on the website that links music to the blog and the label cannot be changed. We are still amazed that Ryan found a huge balloon that sings the song when tapped and that stayed aloft for three weeks, and that Peter turned up a get well card that plays the song when opened.

Paige's father drove to Kent to get her books so that Paige can start on her Kent school work while she continues her outpatient rehabilitation.  The school is on its midwinter break, and the grounds were beautiful and unusually quiet.

People were drifting in for a concert in Mattison Auditorium by 89-year old Dolph Traymon. Governor Rell had declared today Dolph Traymon Day in honor of the former pianist for Frank Sinatra and Peggy Lee who later opened the Fife 'n Drum.  

The beautiful St. Joseph's Chapel, with its dark interior and many stained glass windows, offered a perfect place for reflection after the pain and pace of the last three weeks.

It is easy to understand why Paige wants to return quickly to this beautiful place where she is surrounded by so many supportive friends and faculty.  We are eager to see her recovery unfold in the days ahead.
