Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live(d)
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above


This is another BIG day so I am going to say that we just may have passed mile marker 4 and are now headed toward mile marker 5.

Right now the adrenaline has surged and it almost makes you feel drunk. If you were drunk would you feel like you could keep running forever. Let me have another drink and I will let you know. (Just kidding it is a weeknight and I do have to work tomorrow).

I popped into the hospital around 11:45 this morning and I am so happy that when I was there the occupational therapist, Lana, made a visit. What a truly, truly, truly nice woman. After determining that I was the wife (or still am the wife) we started talking and this is what she says to me, "Did you know that Dean was standing up yesterday?" (I used the quotation marks because my homework last night was to grade one of Riley's essays on Davey Jones and he used quotations every time someone in the story said something and I was so impressed - Anyone impressed?) I know, I said exactly the same thing: STANDING UP are you SERIOUS. STANDING UP!!!!! Lana had come in the room to let Dean know she hadn't forgot about him and that she was coming to work with him around 1, maybe 2 since he was napping. The speech and physical therapists had both already been there. Lana said she was taking him to the gym so they could work on standing again. She said he is 50% standing on his own. Can you f _ _ _'n believe it????

So, I am back at work and then I get an email from Steve saying he stopped by to spend some time with Deano and that they put him in a chair and took him outside. Thanks for letting him use your cap. Great picture. Thank you.

I am driving home from the hospital this evening and I see that I have a message from Kyle Johnson telling me he went to visit Deano today and when he was there he got to see Deano in the gym STANDING UP. OMG!!!!! Thank you Kyle for being there :-)

But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love

P.S. Thank you to everyone for the support and continued prayers. Please keep it coming. Look how far we've come.
