Default great news
Great to get a report here. I also am following SchoolMoms progress on FB. Glad to hear Falcon got to visit her too.

Trish, while you're waiting for your wingcard you can fly with me. I will be glad to repay the flight you gave me at my first Madera clinic.

Thanks for the report Ron.
I wish her a full and speedy recovery.
I owe her as she flew my #4 as I was #3 during the last flight Sunday during the summer formation clinic in NC.
I punished her severely as I was just learning and it was my worst flight of the long weekend. She was very gracious with what I put her through.
I look forward to flying formation with her again.

I don't know you folks but my heart really goes out to you. Her determination is very inspiring! Way to go!

My wife Jamie had brain surgery on June 3rd this year, and it sounds very similar. A piece of her skull was removed so the surgeon could get in there and operate. It was due to an aneurysm that was found about a year ago. We are extremely thankful that they found it and were able to successfully clamp it off before it could rupture. Subsequent procedures have shown that it has shriveled away and is no longer a threat. Yeah! She has recovered nicely and is doing well. She is not a pilot but has been very supportive of my project, and can't wait to go on flights and trips of all kinds, as soon as our RV-7A is finished.

Default Trish is back in the air!
I accompanied Trish on her first flight in her RV-6A since her stroke. With a little help on the rudders Trish completed two landings and got a standing ovation from the whole neighborhood at Gold Hill Airpark.
Way to go Trish!
