Happy Easter, Bob, and Other Miracles!

Dear Family and Friends,

Can you believe that we've been in the trenches for over eleven months? And we're still here! Whoo-hoo! We wish you the best this Easter!

We spent the day with family at Sonia and Jeff's just kicking back, eating a lot of food, and watching The Blind Side. The big excitement came when the 7.2 Mexicali earthquake shook the earth but we kept right on eating and saying, "We're having an earthquake."

Jeanie was our Bobwatcher while Shadi's in Korea with Bill. Although we LOVE Shadi's support, Bob is enjoying Jeanie's attention immensely. Jeanie is the quietest and calmest of the four sisters and Bob is a quiet man so it's a good combination. Besides, she's a super cook (like Shadi, who makes Bob "dang good" meals).  Jeanie is also a "Healing Touch" certified and gives him massages so life with Jeanie is pretty good.

Jeanie said that she's amazed at Bob's progress and determination in therapy. His miracles during her watch were: (1) flexing his hand back and up and (2) walking 10 minutes at 2.5 mph on the treadmill, singing "Margaritaville"! The Walk-Aide is jolting Bob to lift his knee, foot, and toes so that his gait will continue to improve. If only there was a similar device that could help him with his speech. We just work patiently at it and pray for lots of improvements every day.


Well, I'd better get to bed. Happy Easter, all!

Warmly,

Sharon
