Looking forward

Well, another fairly busy weekend now behind us. On Saturday my sister Kim picked us up and we all went to my brother Brian's house warming party. Brian and Amber have recently returned "home" after spending a few years in Illinois. Everyone is glad that they are back. We missed them while they were away. Sherry did well but due to the heat we only stayed a few hours.

On Sunday we went to church for the first time in several weeks. It was good to be back. There was an all church picnic after services and we enjoyed the fine company, food and music. Our church has been so very supportive of our family since Sherry became ill in July of last year. Our Pastor, Doug Rose made several trips to Portland when Sherry was in the hospital there. He was more helpful to me than I think he really knows. The church as a whole supported (and continue to support) us in many ways. They have donated money, transportation, moral support and much more. We don't thank them as often we should. They have made a huge difference. If we didn't have the support of our family and friends, our church, our places of employment and in some cases, people we don't even know, we would never had made it through this. It really does "take a village."

Looking forward, Sherry has her second appointment at the Foley Vision Center on Tuesday. Dr. Foley contacted Sherry's therapists at Sacred Heart last week as she said she would. We are all excited about this new addition to Sherry's team of people who work so hard to help her. We won't know for a few weeks whether or not we will continue to work directly with Dr. Foley's office or not, we certainly hope so though.

Well, enough for now,

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