Mariah's Reemergence 
My friend Captain Karin Hamilton is friends with Mariah. They were in vet school together and then went into the Army at the same time. I am a dentist at the Veterans Hospital in Richmond, VA. Karin is unable to visit as she is now in Korea but I would like to help you get oriented to Richmond and the Veterans hospital. It is a wonderful rehab hospital and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Feel free to contact me with any questions about the area and Karin also asked if I may arrange for the different therapy dog groups to visit.
Hi Mark
When my brother was first learning to swallow after his stroke, he LOVED a little variety in the applesauce. He especially liked Trader Joe’s cranberry applesauce, I thik it wss.
Hooray! That is real progress to eat something and I am celebrating it. Love Georgia

I admire your determination and will to get better. You are a remarkable person and soldier. So, keep wiggling those toes because we all want to see that gentle smile again.
Mariah’s beauty manages to surge forth, even in this state. Clearly, her powerful, graceful, elegant, and even regal spirit is shining as always.
