Thurday - May 14

Leanne you ROCK! Thank you so much for finding this lift and going through all the trouble to get it to us. Also a big thank you for everyone helping to coordinate this shipment, Kris, Marci and Courtney. We can't forget a super duper thank you to Laurie (Dennis' sister) for the willingness to do the packing and shipping while in PA. We appreciate every one's effort so much, this devise will make it possible for Jerry to get in a bathtub, which is something he enjoys very much. Thank you!!!

Jerry had an ultra sound this morning at 11:00, the technician took images of his stomach, gall bladder, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. The doctor should have a report of the results by Monday. Jerry had Physical Therapy at Dominican at 2:00 today, the session went well. Jerry's biceps really are getting stronger, while laying flat on the bed he was able to lift up his left arm off the bed about 2 inches. Jerry feels like his right arm is also getting stronger.

Jerry is getting the hang of his new controller, he is able to play a video game on the computer called Civilization. This is a game he enjoyed playing before his injury so to be able to play this game again was very cool for him. The controller has 2 joystick thingy's that Jerry can control with his chin.

Jerry and I are looking forward to not having any appointments tomorrow. For Jerry it will be a chill day, for me it will be a day to catch up on house work, laundry, paper work, and following up on equipment. Busy, but good to be home.

God bless....

Katie

Jerry,
Congratulations to little Jessica and the SLV softball team for killing Aptos and to Scotts Valley for taking down Aptos Track & Field with help from our former sprinting coach, Joe.
I hope you and Mom & Dad can still hear after the concert last night as it must have been a blast.
Here is praying for a good day. No nausea or pain and only love coming your way.

Mornin' Jer et al.

The birds are chirping, as they were at about 4:56 a.m., heralding another incredibly beautiful day! Hope you were able to keep cool yesterday without too much trouble.

Katie, hope you and Gretch had a nice time yesterday - sorry I couldn't connect up, though we'll get together soon.

Father, on this most spectacular and glorious day, as the birds sing, may we in turn sing your praise and give you thanks for the blessings you give us. Without you, Lord, life would be harder than it is. We thank you for your unrelenting presence and we pray we continue to open ourselves to your grace and guidance. Bless all those we love and hold with great intention as finish their school years, graduate, travel abroad, and choose the way you provide for them. Thank you, Father, for loving us. Amen

Blessings to your day, Macs!
