Getting out a little

I am shying away from taking pictures of Joni and putting them on the blog only because I know the of the personal consequences that could follow. It is safer for me to post and focus on pictures of Brooke. She continues to warm our hearts with every visit or picture that we see. Being a grandparent is really cool.

Progress continues to be slow and steady. This weekend Joni and I went for a ride to run some errands and stop in and see Kelli and Jordan's newly decorated nursery. Kelli and Jordan are having a baby boy in July and have begun the room and wardrobe preparations. (It's all a blur to me) Joni said as long as she did not need to get out of the truck, except for Kelli's she was willing. We were out for a few hours and she felt fine. We have noticed additional improvement in the facial paralysis, as additional movement comes back ever so slowly. The double vision from her right eye continues to be our biggest issue these days. We go back to see the doctor for the first time since the operation on February 26th. We joke that if you have an ingrown toenail surgery they want to see you for a followup in a week, you have brain surgery and they tell you to come back in two months.

All in all, we are still on track. Strength continues to improve and we feel encouraged with the progress we see. Obviously there are the times when the feeling is; enough of this, its time for it to be over!! But again and again we are reminded that we are not the ones setting the time frame here.

Thanks for the love and support of all.
