Friends – GOOD NEWS – Karen is up for visitors!
A few guidelines per her brother Steve:
- Please call or text Denise 720.427.4500 who is keeping a master visitors schedule as to when and what time you are considering a visit. We are trying to space out visitors so she has daily coverage!
- We are attempting to limit the timeframe between 3 – 6pm daily, however, if you cannot go at that time, then pick a time that works for you. Karen has lots of morning visits from hospital personnel, fyi.
- Please take your cues from Karen as to the length of the visit, however, we are asking you to err on the side of caution with the suggestion of 5 minutes or less. We know Karen is VERY social, so we may have to help her “rest”.
- Sorry for all the guidelines…..this is a work in progress as we see how Karen handles visitors along with her REST and RECOVERY.
Latest update:
Karen is recooperating and is learning how to breathe on her own after the ventilator was recently taken out. She is also working on speech therapy (another after effect of the ventilator). She is a little cloudy at times.
THANKS for all the love and support for our friend!
I sure wish that I lived close enough to visit! You’re in my thoughts and prayers! If there’s anything I can do from this distance, please don’t hesitate to ask!
Hey sweet Karen – I am praying for The Holy Spirit to just smother you with healing, strength, patience, and awesome doctors and nurses!!! You have an entire army of prayer warriors on your side, so hang in and do what you need to do to heal and we will take care of the rest 🙂 I will see you soon!
Love and hugs,
Nancy
Whoop! Whoop! So happy to hear that the ventilator is out. God is good and prayers are powerful. Sending hugs, prayers, and more cards. Thanks for the update. Please give her a squeeze from her Madison friends. We are all thinking of her.

Karen,
What some people won’t do to get attention : )
When they have to schedule your visitors so they don’t break down the door, I think you got your wish : )
Heal well, see you later. Les

Karen my prayers and thoughts are with you! We have a special hot line to the “powers to be” in the name of Inez. The reason for a road trip just got much clearer. Take care of yourself now and I will see you this summer for a baseball game!
Can an address be provided for mailing a card? Thanks! Continued prayers for Karen!
My Dear Friend Karen you know you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. I know the amount of strength you have and it will serve you well in meeting this challenge. I hope that soon I will be able to joke and make you laugh and that can ease the pain just a little. I love you friend. I will see you soon.
