"Still Getting Better"

A long time.....I know. Summer has pretty much blown on by and we are now getting ready for fall and all that it entails. School starting up again (yeah!!) Sherry beginning speech therapy at the U of O, and DUCK FOOTBALL!!!

We have had a good summer, but are ready to move on. We will go to the girls school on Thursday for an ice cream social. The girls will get to pick out their lockers and meet their new teachers. I am hoping that we will all be able to attend.

We will be having Brittney's 12th. birthday party this Saturday. She is looking forward to it and has several friends that she is inviting. We will do the "burger and ping pong" theme that we did for Chelsea last month. I hope to post some pictures on the main site next week.

Sherry has been spending MUCH time playing Zoo Tycoon on the computer. This is a simulation game that she loved to play before she became ill. It is a fairly complicated game and she is doing very well at it. Her ability to use the mouse and find things on the screen is amazing. It is fun to watch her. It would be untrue to say that she can really play the game at this point. But her computer skills are improving everyday. She needs help to do certain things with the game, but she understands more and more each day. She has fun, which is the most important thing of all.

We had an appointment with her Neurologist, Dr. Mundall yesterday. After observing her and asking her many questions he said "Sherry, you are still getting better. You amaze me." This made us both feel great. We ARE still moving forward and we will not stop until we reach Sherry's goal of getting back her independence and eventually getting back to work.

This Saturday is the first Duck home game. GO DUCKS! Hey....it's a team from TEXAS, how tough can it be.

enough for now,

I love my wife...and the Ducks (well....I like them a lot anyway)

We will all move forward,

Dean
