Saturday eve

First off, it has been far too long since I've posted, and for that I apologize. Can I use "writer's block", in this situation??

Soooo, let's catch up to speed here. I'm being told he is getting stronger and stronger with his walker, though I still have yet to see this. His speech has reached somewhat of a plateau, which worries me. He has admitted this is the most frustrating thing for him, is not being able to communicate better. I worry about him getting discouraged, and try to emphasize patience as much as possible. He sticks to his motto "It's good to be alive", which I love hearing him say.

His feeding via the mouth has commenced, though it is in very small doses, carefully monitored, and only a few select items...though he continues to add to his list of things he misses food wise. :)

His love of basketball has now been replaced by our beloved Mariners, and one of my parents favorite sports stars, Ken Griffey Jr. Goooo M's!!
I asked my Dad if he thinks he could sit through a whole game, if we got tickets, and he seems to think he could. He has been to the theatre twice now, with Fred. Apparently if you are the caretaker of an individual, you get into movies for freeeeeeee! I honestly don't know how he does it, since the popcorn at the theatre's and at the ball parks, is one of his favorite treats of all time. :)

I have spoken before about how I cannot express everything I would like to say via this blog, and I stand firm to that...though I will say that this country has a long way to go on health insurance, and our legal system astounds me. That is all I am going to say on that.

I know I owe some photos and will get them up soon!
Take care everyone.
