Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

Day 12, 5/25/2009

Posting about Bob on this blog is usually a midnight ritual; I'm early today. I guess that can be taken as a good sign.

Bob is moving his arms more today and was scotching around more to get comfortable. He didn't open his eyes too much; however, when the doctor lifted his eyelids and yelled, "Bob, look at me!", his eyes quickly looked directly at her as though he had daggers shooting out of them! It was quite refreshing to see and funny at the same time. If any of you know the "look" Bob can give you as if to say, "you're a dumbass"...that was the look he gave to doctor.

We aren't "out of the woods" yet, but are getting there. Keep the prayers coming, and pass the word to others. Please pass this blogpage address on as well.

This is certainly encouraging news, Jan. Tell Bob we will some day write a song with the lyric, "When you peel back my eyelids and yell in my face, it proves your a dumbass so get out of my space." Seriously, tell Bob I think about him everyday and hope for his full recovery.

Hi Jan,
I tried to leave a comment and got bumped off. So I will try again. We are pleased with your update. I imagine that Bob has felt the presence of His Heavenly Father and is basking in His love and healing power. We continue to pray and so do those we asked.
Love,
Aunt Joan
