Saturday

I was thinking today about Coleman's very slow but very steady progress over the last week. He has come such a good distance. I was thinking about how slowly some of his negative progress happened, so much so that I sometimes didn't know it was happening. I think that's the same way his positive progress is happening. He's eating a bit more each day and he seems to have much more movement in the bed today.

We rented a new wii game and he has been completely engrossed in it today. He has been laughing some more today too, which is the best medicine for all of us.

I went out of the house for a meeting today and at first my stomach stayed in knots being away from him, but after a bit I calmed down and got to work - think it was good for me and I so enjoyed coming home to my guys. The only thing that preoccupies my thoughts is the fact that we have a son who can't walk. Although I'm certain its temporary, it doesn't change my thoughts when I think about everywhere I might go in a day and he doesn't go anywhere. I understand how it's hard for a guy his age to try to think positively when you're in the thick of that, but I do see the slightest glimmers of hope and I think he will too!

Thanks for the food run from Ray and Conrad and all the kind posts from wonderful long time friends and family - it helps keep my spirits up.
