We are getting there...



Well Brian's doing remarkable still. He has been up a couple times this morning, even a little walk to the mailbox to see the beautiful flowers that welcomed us home this week. His incision looks great and we'll get those stitches out on Sunday. Folks have been wonderful to help us out with the Bit who is having to be more quiet then she's used too. This morning she tip toed around like Ace Ventura through the den while "Daddy [was] sweeping!". She whispers like a sensitive adult and I just can't believe how she's both grasping and helping with this process. Her first words this morning were "Mommy how's Daddy doing this morning??". She's so sweet.
As far as how is systems are doing he's about the same. Some sweet taste buds are firing slowly again. So I've loaded him up w/ little kid cereals and Deana brought over donuts this morning. We'll give him what he can taste if he'll eat it! Hearing about the same and vision about the same. If the vision isn't better beginning of the week next week we'll use our prescription for some occupational therapy to help him adjust and adapt. All in all we're doing good. Our jobs, families and church friends are bringing us meals which is really helping. And like I said folks are helping by taking Abigail out of the house for a few hours each day just so she can be loud and be a kid. Today her Aunti Dee is treating her to her first professional pedicure! All I asked is that she get pictures. :) Thanks still for your continued thoughts and prayers. They are working!!!

Okay, so now that Brian can taste sweet things again I have a question....does he prefer brownies or cookies? Because I'd love to bring some over for him if that's okay :)
So glad he's recovering so amazingly!
