Day 692 - Apr 21, 2010

We had a pretty good day today. We didn't go anywhere, but we invited Mary, our wonderful FRC, over for dinner and it was a really nice evening. Kevin enjoys seeing her (as do I) and he did well for a while, but he did spend the bulk of the night in his room - like usual. He really just can't handle the talking for very long again. For me though - it was great! It's a very rare thing where I get to have a conversation and food all in one. Our lives really are very quiet.

And I didn't hear anything from the apt complex today. Tomorrow, I hope, although I'm not holding my breath.

So now I am going to sign off and watch the meteor shower. I hope it's visible from our balcony...

Hi Leslie, I've been reading your blog since the inception..you have my utmost respect in all you're doing for Kevin.

Here is something I thought you'd really be interested in, its on care givers of severely wounded veterans:

Glad you had a good day and got to socialize a little. Hope that elevator stays fixed, what a rotten deal that was!

Sorry I've been absent, but you guys have been in my thoughts. My grandad passed away on Monday and of course that is so emotionally and physically draining. We'll miss him a lot, but he was 89 and was suffering greatly, so I'm glad he's free from that and is now with Jesus.

I'm glad your parents are doing well and hope your dad's chemo is successful. It must be so hard to be away from them right now. How is the cat working out with your niece?

I'll be thinking of you both and praying for you. Take care.
