Saturday - September 15th

Dan is doing so well, it is really amazing the speed in which he is recovering. Although, day to day, watching his progress is as hard as watching water boil or bread toast. After every forward movement, there is always a back slide. We are getting used to it now, but it makes the healing process seem all the more frustrating.

I know I have been remiss in posting. Part of it is because I am busy with work and the kids' school and soccer schedules...but, the main reason is that there is no real progress to report daily that wouldn't have to be rescinded the following day.

For instance, Monday, Dan woke up very ill and sick to his stomach. By mid morning, when his Mom came to visit, he was doing quite well and they had a wonderful day. Then, Tuesday and Wednesday Dan declined steadily and he lost a few more pounds. Thursday rolled around and he was back on the upswing which continued through Friday.

We both keep reminding each other that the net result is he is improving greatly week to week. We will be happier when the progress is steadier and the backsliding stops.

Happy Labor Day

Wow, a week of UPs and DOWNS...I think more ups than downs. :-)

Soccer season is impacting the timeliness of my posts. I have a big weekend update about Alex's tournament in IL, Dan's first road trip in a long time, and Sammy's shopping adventure...all will be posted soon. Plus we had some company, my sisters family stopped in for a visit.

Stay tuned, more words and pictures will magically appear soon. Thanks for your patience.
