Technical Difficulties

For some reason I have had technical difficulties in "publishing" the blog since the last entry. Perhaps an internet connection was the problem, but both times the blog entry simply disappeared when I saved and "published". For fear that might happen again, I'm going to make this short. But today's a new day and there's always hope.......

Amazing progress in 24 hours....with the assistance of 2 very small physical therapists, Jay worked on standing and walking in PT! Jay never seemed that tall to me, but his height
makes standing and walking with a "sleepy" left side even more of a challenge. He seems huge in this context.

Jay has obviously paid some serious dues for the progress he's made, and the small tight quarters of this rehab unit are a high price to pay. Sharing rooms, complete lack of privacy, constant noise, people everywhere all the time, makes it impossible to rest and is a crazymaker for me. These doctors and therapists are totally worth the tough living accomodations, but home sweet home has never looked so good. I feel bad when I go back to my cozy guest house and Jay has to stay.

I want to thank so many of you. So many people are working so hard to help us out and pick up the slack that our trip to Salt Lake City has caused. I'm so grateful and apologetic to our coworkers, thankful to our pals Jeff and Laurie Garren who now have two households to mind,
thanks to friends and family who have sent cards, emails, packages, and phone messages, and thanks to the Western State cheerleaders who made a banner and special cheer for President Helman at the basketball game. We feel all your love and we can't wait to get home to start working for you again.
