Sorry, was having a moment
There are a lot of balls in the air, and I just needed a moment or 3.  Bear with me. If this were Hollywood, she’d have woken up Thanksgiving night in a flash of white light, and skipped out of the CCU while whistling “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”.  If this were Hollywood, I’d have more hair, be 4 inches taller and 50 pounds lighter. It’s not Hollywood though.  People don’t just wake up from comas.  It’s a gradual process. I’m going to steal a line from my favorite tv show that barely was:  Firefly.  “When you can’t run, you crawl. And when you can’t crawl, when you can̵

Faith
I started shaving my head several years ago when my wife said the infamous phrase, “honey, your hair has started migrating…”  I haven’t shaved my head since this all started.  I haven’t really looked in the mirror since this all started either. I did today. Apparently I have some gray hair now.  Go figure. So, last night, some friends, new and old, stopped in.  It was extremely good to see all of them.  We talked about the situation here.  We talked about what was going on in their lives, and at work.  Was a nice bit of escapism.  It meant the world to me. Anissa was a bit more active.  She’s responding to things a

Still waiting.
An old friend found the finished video I was watching on her itouch the other day.  Thought I’d share it with you all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9n2imsHihs Patience. Dedication. Enduring faith. Unstoppable hope. Strength. Determination. Perseverance. Grace. An advocate. Courageous. Devoted. Compassionate. Conviction. Generosity. Committed. Tenacious. Inspirational. Extraordinary. THAT is my wife. I’m having a rough go of it today. The Wednesday after this happened, I prayed for the strength of Samson, the wisdom of So

The waiting is the hardest part.  Can’t get that chorus out of my head for nothing. My mind has been going through every possible alternative. Saturday was bill day, because having the power turned off now would really kinda suck.  I think I figured out her filing system and found some paperwork.  Natalie stayed up with Anissa most of the day.  The shifts are beginning.  Some folks came in and some folks begrudgeoningly left.  The cavalry arrived in the form of an SUV filled with familiar kids and two oh-so-sick-of-being-in-that-vehicle adults.  My girls thought it was Christmas when they opened the door.  Apparently, the squeals eminating from 5, 8 and 9 year

Support and baby steps
When I first started this site up several years ago, it looked a little different.  I band-aided together a couple of software packages and made it work.  I would watch the little counter go up shortly.  1 hit here, 4 hits there, etc as friends and family would trickle in.  It was something to do to pass the time waiting for news. It was lonely. Yesterday we had over 35,000 hits and drove our friend’s server into the ground!  THAT’S the kind of impact my wife has had over the years.  That’s not counting all the social media sites she’s gotten into.  I keep her cell phone on me because it jiggles when she gets an email for some things I just ca
