Mara has left the hospital and has just arrived at her aunt Mary's place. Relief. Dr. Gutin let Mara go after looking at the results of a CT scan that was done this morning. It came as a bit of a surprise, even to us.
It's late, so I'll report on Mara's last day at the hospital tomorrow.
It's Mara

Congratulations! You all must be so relieved. Can't wait to hear about the results. Hope you all get some good sleep. Love, JMRR
Aunt Mary, take good care of our Mara (I know you will). Until we hear more news, we'll just send all our love, LizMcK
Great news! So glad for you, and David and Carol and Elise and everyone there with you. Eat, sleep, and be well. Maybe the nail ladies can come over. Love, Laurie
Excellent!!!!!!
I have been on a plane all day and was hoping to discover good news when I landed.
Mara (AKA Wonder Woman)- you really are a force to be reckened with. Who but you has brain surgery and then goes home so fast? Stay strong and steady but also get some well needed rest.
Glad you're headed for Mary's. Will you have a burger, shake, and fries for me from the shakeshake? : )
And good idea from Laurie-I bet I could get our friend from the nail shop to come when you are ready. And better yet, I know a massage therapist.
Always sending good thoughts and love your way.

Wonderful news! I'm sure there will be no love lost leaving the hospital. I hope you will have some rest-filled nights and some up-graded meals to fuel your engines for the road to recovery.
Love,
Blanche
What a wonderful news with which to start the day! I agree with Evie - only you could have brain surgery and be discharged so quickly. I hope it feels good to be on 23rd Street. Give a hug to Aunt Mary from me. I so wish I was there. xoxoxoxo Rob
Dear Mara,
Wonderful news! We are so happy you are out of the hospital.
My mom wrote me after seeing your blog the other day, and I wanted to pass on the message she sent me:
Hi honey,
Went into Mara's blog and was so impressed with all the comments and the friends that she has~and so many others whose lives she has touched . She is a remarkable woman with incredible inner strength. My prayers are with her . You take care and please send her my love Mom
To this day, my family still talks about the great party at your parents' house the day we graduated from SAIS way back when, and more recently the wonderful evening my Mom, you, Chris, Sean and I had on our roofdeck before we left for Bangladesh. You definitely stay in their thoughts too. The circle is ever-expanding!
Love,
Luke
Yeah!!!! I'm sure you are so encouraged to be back in "your bed" (even a bed in exile in New York is better than a hospital bed) and a quiet restful place. I'm traveling back to New York today and will confer with your family as to when it might be possible to see you. xo, kristina in belgrade
Mabruk Mara. I am so happy for you. We in Jordan are so proud of you. Take care, Rima
Hurray!

Great news Mara! I can't imagine how relieved you must be to be away from the hospital and all of that wonderful gadgetry.
I hope you're feeling much, much better.
Go, go, go!

Ems, Zlatna, Kristina M -

Hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Hi Mara! It's your cousin Liz Sammons (Peggy's daughter). I am so happy to hear that you're out of the hospital and back at Mary's. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you, and to all who are taking such good care of you.
What excellent news to start off the day! We're keeping up the good thoughts, just this morning at breakfast the kids asked if I knew "how your friend from USAID is doing" in the hospital.

YAYYY! You're such a star Mara! I finally got Google to let me back onto the blog - for whatever reason, it hasn't been recognizing my password, so my previous message went to your yahoo email instead.
Be well, rest up, and know that all of us are with you in spirit every minute of every day!
Love,
Carrie
Great, great! Congratulations,
Mara, David, Aunt Mary (do you remember me - Zlatna from Bulgaria - I still remember your birthday - 20 May!)! Back to that great peaceful home! I can't wait to read the news about the scan results!
Mara, sweetie, rest, rest, rest! You are making a wonderful progress! Keep the rhythm!
Lots and lots of love!
Zlatna
P.S. Claudia, hurray! I'm so glad about the package - but then, how could you expect anything else?!?!

Mara:
You are and always have been remarkable. Leaving the machines, noises, and lack of privacy in the hospital must feel wonderful. We are thinking of you and send our love. Ginny, Greg, Emily and Peter
