Family time

Wow...it's been a busy couple of days since I last posted. On Sunday, we got Chelsea off to her week long stint at church camp (thanks to Trish for the ride and of course to our church who made the whole thing possible.) We all hope this turns out to be fun, positive experience for her. Brittney will go to her camp this coming Sunday. Later on Sunday we travelled to Curtis and Joys house in Lebanon for a family reunion of sorts. Sherry's sister Michelle and part of her family were there as were Sean and Jody and kids. We had a great visit. It was the first time Sherry has seen Michelle in many months. She visited Sherry during the course of her illness, but Sherry does not remember it. If any of you are interested in seeng the photos and video clips from the trip just follow the link you will find at www.sherrysjourney.com. The food was wonderful and included halibut that Curtis had caught on their recent trip to Alaska. This was a pretty major trip for Sherry. It was the farthest she had been away from home since coming home in February. It was a long day for her, but she was great. Her strength is improving every day. The day was capped off back at home with a visit from Sherry's step mom Dona.

Today, I took the day off and we went to the girls school to get them regestered for the coming year. Then it was off to Costco. Sherry walked the whole time we were in the store, about two hours. Again, her strength is improving. When we got home Sherry worked with a deck of playing cards, identifying the numbers and suits very well, missing only one or two. This evening she took her second bath and totally enjoyed it. Getting in and out was no problem again.

Tomorrow is a huge day for us. I am taking the day off again to go to therapy with Sherry. She has all three sessions, so it will good for me to touch base with all of her therapists and to watch how well she is doing. Then late in the afternoon she has her vision therapy evaluation. Hopefully, they will tell us that she is a good candidate for vision therapy and we will get her going on that.

Well, we have had a few really good days and are hopeful for tomorrow. Enough for now.

I love my wife.....tomorrow we move forward,
