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 13, 5/27/09

Today was a good day, even though Bob received a trach. Pastor Daryl from Bob's church visisted today. Bob gave him quite the show. He moved both arms and one leg. I guess Bob thought it was band practice time. :0)

Also, when I mentioned a friend's name, Steve Fischer, to Bob, his eyes opened wide.

The trach surgery went fine. The reason for doing this was to get the tube out of his throat. If it is left in too long, it is irritating to the vocal chords. Heavens to Betsy, if that happens, Bob will be on OHSU's doorstep demanding new chords! He will be weaned off of the vent tomorrow.

Please leave comments to pass on to Bob or email me at jiachini@msn.com.
