    Cindy Cramer:  Here is the latest on Cindy from her daughter.

    Good news! My mom is making great progress in rehab and they've given her a tentative discharge date of August 13! She's walking on a walker already, but they want her to have time to build up her strength some more before letting her out.
     
     
    Also — there is no need to bring her food anymore. It turns out, the food at this place is really good — much better than the hospital food was! 
     
    Thank you all again so much for all your cards, gifts, thoughts, and prayers! You are really helping to make her stay more tolerable, and she is fortunate to have such a strong support network!
