Day 695 - Apr 24, 2010

Today was really a great day. Kevin felt well enough to head to Target shopping (I had to return a blender that when I opened it was used and dirty - yuk!) and he did fantastic the whole time. I was very proud of him because he wanted a slushee and I made him get it himself so he wheeled up to the counter, pointed at the picture and paid for it. I really need to get back to cognitive therapy and pushing him to do more, he just hasn't felt well enough for me to really push him lately.

After we got home we had a nice family dinner with Breezy and Chris. They are coming again tomorrow and I am hoping that I can get away for a little bit. It's been a while since I have been apart from Kevin and I need to break away for an hour or two to recharge.

And tonight I have been watching "America's Best Dance Crew" and it just reminded me of when Kevin was really young and he was break dancing in the talent show at his elementary school. I sure wish I had filmed that event. He was so dang adorable and so dang talented. (remember that, Breezy?)

And now I think I will head to bed. Before I forget - Grant - I don't know if we will be in East Brady for Riverfest or not. Kevin will be having surgery I think in June and again in August so I'm just not sure about us traveling in July. We'll see though.

Hi Leslie,
I read your entries everyday. I have been following Kevin's progress and setbacks as you share with us. I was Kevin's sixth grade teacher and I did that talent show at Sugarcreek. I remember his breakdance and how funny he was. The teachers at school talk about him and we hope so much for the best for you guys. I will check my videos at school. I just might have it. Take care and best of wishes to you. Tracy

Restocking dirty items? Yuck, what's with that!

Yeah for Kevin getting out and about. Hopefully his tolerances will improve.
