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.

You've come a long way baby

I looked over some of my past posts...Boy, have we come a long way. I looked at pictures too from the beginning to now. That was scary. What was even scarier was my grammatical and spelling errors. Thank goodness I didn't receive any emails grading me. I would have crawled under the desk with embarrassment.

Tonight, our focus was to work on getting his eyes to work together. As I mentioned before, Bob's eyes don't work well together. He's now aware that his eyes are doing goofy things. I found a few activities on the Internet that will help retrain his brain to get his eyes to coordinate. He tells me that he's not worried; with my help everything will work out.

I need to start a storybook with all the stories he conjures up. When he's talking, he truly believes what he is saying. The stories aren't "far-fetched"; they just don't make any sense at all.

He works with the Physical Therapist and Occupational Therapist everyday. Oh, and of course, he works extensively with the Cognitive Therapist...(me!)

One day at a time...
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM Joel Osteen
"Heavenly Father, I know what you've put on the inside of me. By faith I see the dreams you've given me coming to pass, no matter what my circumstances are. I am full of Your power and I'm ready to become everything you created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
