Hi everyone,
Sharon Maneki is doing amazingly well.  she was transferred out of ICU this morning and her care team is very pleased with her progress.  I can report that her cognitive abilities and memories are definitely in tact.  She has some work to do in terms of fine motor skills and speech, but she has already progressed a ton in those areas.

i have read her your loving emails and text messages and we’ve listened to your thoughtful voicemails.  She feels your love and appreciates your prayers so much.  With each message, I see her light up more and more and then using your love and well wishes as fuel to help her recovery.

Yours,
Ronza

She is in critical care and not able to speak for long periods of time or on the phone, but she, and her care team are very optimistic. Once she is able to receive visitors and phone calls, I will share that information with you. She feels your love and support and communicated her gratitude for it. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she focuses on a full recovery.
