Update (5/11/12): We are pleased and thrilled to share that several weeks ago, Linda returned home to the farm where she continues to recuperate. She’s in excellent spirits, both physically and mentally. We’d like to thank you all for your prayers and support. We are truly blessed to have friends, neighbors and colleagues as yourselves!
—————————————-
Update (3/16/12): Linda has continued to move forward in her recovery and was transferred to Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital late yesterday afternoon. She will be there for a while where she will have a busy schedule of physical and occupational therapy twice a day at an hour and a half each. Currently,visitors and phone calls are a bit much for her to take in, however, please feel free to send cards to let her know that she continues to be in your thoughts and prayers. The address there is:
Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital/Allentown
850 S. 5th Street
Allentown, PA 18103
As always, we will provide you with additional infomation as soon as we receive it.
Thank you, Friends, for your continued heartfelt understanding, thoughts and prayers.

Update (3/9/12): We’re so happy to let you all know that Linda has been taken off the breathing and feeding tubes and is communicating (and even joking a bit) with everyone. She still has a ways to go but is well on the mend. Thank you so much for your continued support! We are very thankful for each and every one of you!
—————————————-
As most of you may know, Linda was admitted to the hospital last week for major surgery. Each of your continued thoughts, prayers and patience in the coming days and weeks would be wonderful!
Please rest assured we are receiving any and all inquiries to our website as well as via email and phone calls. Responding to each and every inquiry is very time consuming. We respectfully request that you check in on our website from time to time where we will be posting the latest information. We would prefer to donate as much of that attention and energy as we can on focusing on Linda’s speedy recovery.
Should you wish to comment and pass along your thoughts and well-wishes, please feel free to reply below.
Thank you so much for your understanding and continued thoughts and prayers.

Dear Linda (and Family),
Our hearts go out to you during this difficult time. We are saying many prayers for you to heal quickly and completely and for God to be close to you, strengthen you, give you courage, hope and faith and all you need. We feel a very close bond and friendship with you, Linda, through working with us in the training of our Cardigan Welsh Corgi at PetSmart. We miss you and wish you a speedy recovery. Karl and family, please, do not hesitate to email if there is anything at all we can do for you. I know you don’t know us, but the offer for help is sincere. Sending big love and hugs (for Houdini and the other pooches too) and prayers. May God bless you and keep you,
Maggie, Bob and Ven

I am reading all of your prayers and well wishes and personally wanted to thank you! Any of you who know my Mom, knows she is an incrediably strong lady. She is keeping the nurses and doctors on their toes and SMILING! I also want to thank my brother Kory for setting this up on their website. I tell my mom about all the people that are keeping her in their thoughtss and prayers and she smiles. Continue praying and keeping her in your thoughts. Thank you thank you thank you.. xoxoxo

Kate/Kory/Karl: I am a bit confused as I never received an e-mail indicating what happened to Linda. I would love to send a card and/or visit but it would be helpful to know some background. Alternatively, you may call me at 856.235.8263. I have known Karl and Linda for about 5 years and own a black pup from Lola and Leo; her name is Petunia.

Karl and Linda,
We have been thinking about both of you everyday, sending you positive vibes and well wishes. Our Reagan is doing very well and is an absolute pleasure in our family. We are in the stage of who can outsmart who :=).
We wish you the best. Valentine, Kenn, all the kids, Reagan, Bella and the cat.

Hi Linda & Karl,
Sending prayers, well wishes and lots of love your way. Looking forward to Lola’s creations arriving on the scene. Ms. Aggie was at Ironstone Vet yesterday for grooming. She got her summer “do”. Looks so skinny we had to make a fast food run to Mickey D’s for her burger and fries.
Love,
Jean & Agathe
