Robin Weiner
From Mary Schultz
Robin began talking Tuesday night and walked for the first time today (Wednesday)! She recognizes faces, but being able to say your name comes and goes. This is really remarkable progress and we believe she is on a healing upswing! She is asking for food, but is still unable to swallow properly and is still being fed through a tube. Kelsy (her daughter) said that last night she asked for some ham, and for those who don’t know….Robin doesn’t eat meat!! She is currently in a Trauma Step Down area on 5 South (Bed #1) however, they plan to move her to the Physical Therapy area on the 2nd floor once a bed is available.
She had a number of visitors today and was really exhausted by noon during our visit. Visiting hours remain the same as before and limited to 2 visitors at a time. We will notify everyone once she is moved and is up to receiving more visitors.
Please keep your thoughts and prayers going as it’s obviously working. This is truly – breakthrough news!!
Hi Mary,
Robin is a dear friend of mine, and we did a lot of running together when she lived in California. We were roommates for a short time and I spent time with her awesome family. Please tell Robin I am thinking about her, and all of the kids. If there is anything I can do to help her or the kids, please call me. 408-429-0757.
I am a physical therapist.
Thanks for being there for Robin,
Lou
Robin has a large group of friends here in California. Please let her know we are all thinking of her and wish her a quick recovery. Robin is the most incredible, unselfish and giving person I have ever met. I know with the support and love of her family and close friends she will get through this. Should she be in need of anything, please don’t heistate to ask. WE LOVE YOU ROBIN

Hello all,
as a few of you may know, I am Robin’s oldest daughter. I have visited with her at the hospital every day since her accident and because of this I’ve met dozens of her friends and co-workers. It has helped very much to see that so many people love and care about my mom as I do. As Mary mentioned, my mother is doing better and better, and I believe this will continue to happen every day. I would like to thank everyone so much for contacting me and my family and sending your good wishes to us during this hard time. It it because of all of you, everyone out there who is praying, and my mom’s ‘never give up’ attitude, that she has made it this far.
Thank you so much again and make sure to keep her in your prayers,
Kelsie
Also, thank you Mary for keeping everyone updated on my mom’s condition.
Kelsie,
It was so great to meet you and Zach at the hospital the other day. I so wish it could have been under better circumstances, but it was still a pleasure to meet you. Your mom was looking so good and hearing her talk was so great. She really lights up when you walk in the room though, her whole demeanor just changed. She obviously loves you so much.
I t was really awesome to see how strong you were being with all of this and to watch you handle all of these troubles with such grace and to help your mom have dignity in that hospital room.
You are one tough cookie. If you need help just let me know. Robin DeMarchi has all my contact info, and we would be glad to come and help out anytime you need a break or need to study. You keep your schoolwork up. Your mom would really want that too.
Your awesome.
Paula and Greg
I’ve seen the picture you posted of Robin with her plate of food, what a wonderful sight and confirmation of the faithfulness of almighty God, a testament of a fighting spirit her will to survive and overcome this episode in her life, to continue to improve and persevere with the love of her family the love of her friends and the love of Jesus through whom all blessing flow, continued prayers and God bless you Robin and your full recovery. You know with a closer look at that picture you might even see a special angel or two standing by, ( or I guess it could be a shadow ).
