Day 853 - Sep 29, 2010

Thank you all for all of your support today. I can't even begin to tell you how much it means to me. It's always nice to know that people understand why things are done and how choices are made and stand behind you.

Here's what I think it all boils down to though:

This blog was first created to keep family and friends in the loop and also to someday, hopefully, be able to share with Kevin the journey we all took together.

It's my belief that if you don't support Kevin, myself and Breezy as one unit...well, truthfully - the only reason you would want to be here is to cause trouble. Why else would you continue to read about someone that you don't stand behind?

It would please me greatly too if those that have a problem with something I have done take maybe a different path. If you really feel the need to police us - why don't you just email me your problem instead of trying to rile the readers into a frenzy? If you won't do it for me or anyone else - do it for Kevin. After all - he will be reading all of this someday (we have already started actually).

Please understand that I am a firm believer in freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Everyone has the right to believe what they want to believe, do what they want to do and feel what they want to feel. EVERYONE - including myself. And unfortunately, some of you are slamming me over and over again for doing just that. All of my thoughts are being questioned and all of my decisions are being attacked. I find it odd though that you can sure dish it out but start attacking anyone in your path when it comes back at ya - even if that person has never said or done a bad thing to you.

So there it is. If you want to stick around - do so. But I ask that you do it respectably, for Kevin's sake.

And to my friends on here - please just ignore the crap. These types of people WANT everyone upset and angry. It's the only reason that it would go from attacking me to attacking others around me (like my daughter - who has never done anything to anybody). They are just bitter, miserable folk with nothing to occupy their time.

So now back to the real world:

Kevin did great at therapy again today. He is building both strength and endurance and it pleases me so much. The OT wants me to purchase some weights to put on Kevin's arm for short periods of time trying to get it to stay down instead of always being curled upward. Such a great idea. Back in the beginning - here at BAMC - Pam did that with him. I forgot about it, but will be making a point to find those small weights tomorrow.

And speaking of tomorrow - it's possible Breezy will be finding out the sex of the baby in the afternoon. Kevin and I are going with her and Chris to the ultrasound and we are so excited. It will be Kevin's first experience with something like this and I hope he enjoys it.

And on Sunday, Kevin and I went to an art museum, but by the time we got there the actual museum was closed. The grounds were beautiful though and we spent some time in one area taking some photos. We are hoping to go back to the museum soon and actually visit and spend more time on the grounds. Here are a couple of photos:




And that's pretty much it. I have to say the weather here has just been beautiful the last couple of days. I have all the windows thrown open and I just love all the fresh air. Kevin and Lea even went for a walk last night, which was really nice.

Oh, and I finally creamed Kevin at Skipbo!!! LOL!
