Not much to report today.
Still working on that uphill climb to mile 5. I hope we get there soon because I am running out of gas(that reminds me I need gas in both vehicles).
Deano is really liking the T.V. right now (oh, that was nothing new). The new thing is without sound.
I have not heard any more rumors about us moving to a different location.
Goodnight and may God wake you with the morning light.

Those happy hours
That we once knew
Though long ago,
They still make me blue
......................................
Well I think last time we met we were headed for mile marker 5 and let me tell you I think it is all up hill on this mile and we are still climbing to reach 5. I am working so hard to get there I was so out of breath I couldn't even talk. As you can see, Dean managed to write his first name with his left hand. The last name on the page was supposed to be Riley. This exercise really pooped him out.
Both me and Riley have been playing tic-tac-toe with Deano and when Dean and I played neither one of us won. That says a lot (or maybe not)(no Blondie jokes).
Nioko, the physical therapist, is working very aggressively with Deano. They are working on his sitting balance and now he can sit up in the bed without her holding on to him and his standing balance. They are also working on his balance with a cane. The occupational therapist, Lana, works with Dean on brushing his teeth and hair (which was a new one for him, since he was a wash and wear kinda guy).
My sister Kristine was with us today and at some point she will post a video of Riley and Deano playing catch. I am not sure what that does for Dean's spirit and I can see what it does for Riley to be able to play catch and tic-tac-toe with his Dad.
So, when I said we may be looking for a new home shortly I didn't think it meant we would be playing musical rooms. Well the music has stopped and we have safely landed in Room 47B-East Wing.
P.S. Thank you to Janet and Fred for the Banana Nut Bread. I am sorry I missed you and Karen and Mark. Maybe next time you make your way out here.
P.S.S. Thank you Kristine for checking in with me today.
P.S.S.S. Thank you Kathy and Alan for the best ham and cheese sandwich (actually best sandwich period) that I have ever had.
P.S.S.S.S. And thank you to everyone out there who continue to pray and keep us in your thoughts and for continuing to check up on Deano. He continues to get a steady stream of daily visitors.

Tuesday, June 9
Well what can I say, it is 8:54 Tuesday evening and Riley and I are just getting home from leaving the house at 8:00 am this morning.
Tim has gone home. Larry and Paul left on Monday and I dropped May off at the airport early afternoon.
May and I made several trips to the hospital today for reasons that I will not even go into at this moment.
Suffice to say Deano's health continues to improve.
So here we are.
Looking forward to brighter tomorrows.............
