They are BACK!
Despite his laughs and smiles not being the same as what I remember from pre-surgery, these kind take on a whole new authenticity. He can have this frown on his face and my Mom starts in with this little song and dance, and he lights up, and I would love to find someone who does not just buckle cracking up at the site of this man when he gets into light up mode. It is just hilarious, and I am doubtful it will ever get old.
He continues to have an issue with his IV clogging up, so weekly visits to the hospital are not uncommon, but hey...it gets him out of the house, which I know he likes.
Beyond that, everything is improving day by day. He has been sleeping better, communicating better, and moving better. He had another surprise for me this week when I came over after work. He had me sit beside him and pointed my attention to his left foot. I sat and watched as he made considerable attempts at elevating the foot. The fact that there is movement there from a sitting position is a great sign.
My Mom's birthday is coming up on the 9th. Feel free to send her good wishes, and I will see that she gets them. :)

John & family,
It is good to hear that John is progressing. Movement of limbs is a good thing and it sounds as thought his sense of humor is active. Keep it up.
Claudia, we want to wish you the very happiest of birthdays. Although I doubt that John will be able to take you out for dinner, I know the thought will be there. You are a very special person.
Ron is coming over today so that we can celebrate his birthday which is also tomorrow.
Love Bud & Olga
