Dear Family and Friends,

Well Hooray! HAL WENT TO REHAB today.
Not without problems though. The minute he got there he had more "catheter/urology" problems. Trying to find the right one when it comes to emergency re-catheterization can turn into a huge, painful and timely problem...and it did. Many changes and many tries, and about 4 hours later they finally solved the problems. Needless to say, the Urologist is consulting first thing tomorrow morning.
Thank Goodness Carrie was with me, so we suffered through this together, knowing how he was suffering.
So, I have a feeling his first full day tomorrow in Rehab will be a little easier than it might have been. BUT,I am looking forward to reporting to all of you when he starts walking, and improvements with speech therapy, and sitting by himself, etc. He is already keeping his eyes open and holding his head on his own.
I always knew it would be "baby steps", and I am so grateful to see the improvements taking place.

I thank all of you over and over again, for your care and concern. My hope is great and i just know we will be bring him home someday in the future..and that is enough for me.

Carrie and Tracy join me in wishing all of you wonderful holidays.

With love,
Linda
