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.

Back to square one

After speaking with the ICU nurse, we are back to square one. Bob had a second bleed on the brain, so now we wait for the possibility of vasospasms, which can cause the brain's blood vessels to collapse. The bleed was caused by the shunt that was put in to treat the collection of "water on the brain". No matter the cause, there was still bleeding on the brain. If it's not one thing, it's another. It seems like you can't win no matter how you look at it.

Many of you are praying for him, please continue.
