Spring update!

All is calm at the Petro ranch.  I can't remember if I blogged about the hydrotherapy before, but we finally got that in motion.  This is my Dad's second week working with this specialist friend, and everything seems to be working wonderfully.  He is outfitted with his own swimsuit, tank top, and aquasox.  I'll see if I can't sneak in there next week and snap some shots to see the old man gettin his fitness on!  Some of my oldest and fondest memories of my childhood involve me riding piggy back on my Dad while he swam.  It goes without saying that I miss those times.

We've also been working hard with the Dynavox system, trying to get him comfortable with that for better communication in the future.

Mom and I are still working on that jewelry idea...well, more Mom than me.  I can't seem to get my creative side motivated back into jewelry.  

With yard work, my various jobs, and various projects around their place, jewelry seems to fall through the cracks....but we're working on it!

Overall, I'd say my Dad is keeping his strength up, however it's difficult to stay motivated as all of us could understand, I'm sure.  He goes through spurts of impressive feats though, which keep me forever impressed.

I want to get my hands on some of your mom's jewelry. At some point. :o)

Petro - you have a writer's gift. As well as your photog skills. Pursue it.
