Just a quick note to let everyone know that Marilyn is showing sign after sign of her strength. Her waking periods are more and more lucid and active and I am confident that she absolutely knows who is around her and where she is. She has begun regular therapy too. Our goal this week is to establish a routine, both for her and myself. It is easy to get impatient and wish that she would fully wake up and start speaking - but it is a slow process. She is trying so hard to break through and I believe that she is going to blow us all away..
Also - I want everyone to know that Marilyn and I hear your collective voices. For different reasons, we can't always respond, but your energy is felt. Thank you, it means so much.
Gareth

Hi Gareth and Marilyn- I'm so glad to hear about Marilyn's progress. I'm sending lots of love your way and will continue to do so. Gareth, keep taking deep breaths, you have tremendous strength- give Marilyn some hugs and squeezes for me.

Greetings Marilyn and Gareth
This note comes from Carl, Nicole, Sophia, Julia and our newest addition, baby Anna. We are praying that you will continue to get stronger everyday. We are thinking about you all the time and wishing that we could be there by your side to cheer you on in your fight back to the Mar that we all know and love! Oh and don't worry, the "spill vortex" is living strong here in Blauvelt NY- I think Julia is making up for your not spilling so much lately.HaHa...
You are a fighter Mar and we know that you will do your best to come back to us. We hope that the photos, old and new, that we sent to Gareth will help you to remember that we are there for you in your heart and spirit.
Love and Strength to both of you!

Hello Marilyn and Gareth
Haven't posted in a while but have been checking the blog religiously for updates and working on fund raising efforts in the background. It's been great hearing about your progress Marilyn! You kick ass! Keep up the great work! I can't wait to get up there and visit you guys again, you're constantly in our thoughts..
Best, Phil
Gareth and Marilyn,
Trina and I are so glad to hear that Marilyn's progress keeps improving. We are all praying for a quick recovery and for God to give you both the strength you need to work through the trying path ahead. I'm sure with her feisty determination she will make a full recovery.
Trina has been so busy lately with the new baby, Angelina, and the 3 other kids. With 4 kids 5 years old and younger I think we have hit critical mass! The house is pretty much non-stop chaos. I think I need to get Trina a whip and a chair to keep the kids in line. :)
We will get out to see you both as soon as Angelina gets old enough to be on her own for a while.
Love and God bless,
Frank, Trina, Christina, Sofia, Frankie, and Angelina
I truly believe in my heart that she will make a 110% recovery! As always, my thoughts and prayers are with you both at this very chaotic and trying time in your lives. I can't wait to see you both in a couple of weeks.
With love,
Alicia
We Love You Marilyn! You too Gareth! Noah and I check this blog about 10 times a day. You are in our thoughts and prayers every moment. Tell the Speech Path you want some coffee!
So Much Love, Tracye, Adam & Noah
Dear Gareth and Marilyn,
This is the second try for a post,...I am a bit of a luddite when it comes to blogging.
I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about both of you and wishing you the best.
Thanks so much for keeping up the blog. It is great to read about Marilyn's steady progress.
Love,
Mark V.
Dear Auntie Marilyn,

I miss you,
