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.

Ready to come home...

Bob is ready to come home. I'm ready for my T to come home. Zachary and Aunika are ready for T to come home. (I keep having these thoughts of bringing Bob home for Thanksgiving and not returing him. Is that kidnapping?)

He answered all of the "orientation" questions correctly this morning for the OT. Orientation questions are like, what is the date, what is the day of the week, what year is it, where are you, what town and state are you in...


One thing that Bob pondered about today made me realize there is still a lot of learning to do. He was seriously looking at the bed rail that had the controls for raising and lowering the bed. I asked him what he'd like to do. He said he was trying to figure out how to lower the bed. So, my realization was that he doesn't have past experiences to pull from to transfer knowledge from one activity to another. (Piaget's theory isn't applying)

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father God, today I choose to give You thanks. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for setting me free. Thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus! I know You have a good plan for me. Thank You for leading and guiding me and for keeping me close to You all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
