Friday, May 15

Welcome to my world.
Won't you come on in.
Miracles, I guess, still happen now and then

Well if I am counting correctly, this should mark the 6th full day that the ventilator has been turned off and Dean has been breathing on his own. Way to go Deano!!!! Get those lungs nice and strong so we can get this train move'n along. All aboard.

Now I have something to share that I think will bring a smile to every one's face. Today I met the Physical Therapist at the hospital so he could show me some exercises to work on with Deano (I knew I would get you to work out with me). Anyway, I was doing as I was told, lifting his right leg and I said "Wow, Deano, your leg is really heavy". Then I said "Maybe we should get you a new wife (meaning someone bigger and stronger to lift his leg) and do you know he (Deano) thought that was funny and he laughed (not lol) but the features on his face changed and his eyes sparkled and his lip went up (kind of like Elvis (Presley that is not Costello).

Thank you all out there and just keep the love and prayers coming.

I am starting to feel a little tired (I will keep going)(We have alot at stake here).

I will let the strength of all your prayers and love hold me up.

Step into my heart.
Leave your cares behind.
Welcome to my world built with you in mind............

Hi Teri...Another step from that Namba guy! Way to go Dean! Now Teri, from a woman who is old enough to be your mama, it is time for you to take care of yourself too. Maybe an hour for a great facial or a pedicure, even a hot bubble bath with a glass of wine, something for you. Dean needs you to be healthy too. We will keep those prayers going for you and your family.

Teri
He's in there waiting/ trying to bust out... We all wish he'd hurry up but progress is progress. Glad to hear the same old Nambs is emerging. I'm only old enough to be your brother but I agree with Alta. You need to take care of you if you're going to take care of Riley and Nambs. I suggest twenty minutes of chasing Riley on his bike (no bike for you) as often as you can followed by Alta's prescription for facials, pedicures, and bubble baths.
Glad you are tapping into the collective strength we are all trying to send you.

Hey Teri,
More good news. Yeah dean always did have keg-legs. Good for sprinting not good for somebody else lifting. alta speaks the truth. she must be old enough to be my mom too. Hags and alta are both right. don't forget yourself. this is a long race and you need to ba able to go the distance. I suggest ice cream and something chocolate.
