Jack Update

Hello everyone:

We had a wonderful day today. Many thanks to the visits from Jack's company's CEO and one of the board members along with their lovely wives. We had pie and iced tea and enjoyed the comforts of our lovely back porch as we laughed and talked and shared. In our hasty busy lives, it is wonderful that some things stop us, help us to take pause and share "smelling the roses".

I want to share another thing about Jack and me. When we first married, Jack had this illusion that I would make him breakfast each morning. I think I did for one day within the first couple of weeks we were married. I told him that he got serious when he decided he wanted me to make his breakfast which I have done gladly since he returned from the hospital. I really think Jack is enjoying the added pampering - I am enjoying pampering him a little.

Jack was up, showered, and dressed this morning before I even knew he was up. He is adapting very easily to these changes. I am sure it is that engineering mind that he has. He is cautiously climbing and descending our stairs. He also gained some additional functional use of his left hand. The neuromuscular massage therapist said it would take about 6 more sessions working with him weekly.

Instead of continuing to do emails, Jonathan is creating a blog - we will be posting regular updates on the blog. I will send how to access it when it is established which is suppose to be tomorrow.

Thanks to Lee and Paul for the delicious barbeque and other goodies. It was most appreciated.

Have a wonderful labor day weekend. May the Lord bless and keep you all the days of your lives.
