Fall, 2004

It is now fall of 2004 and you are improving steadily. You are vocalizing and saying a word here and there. Your vision is improving and you continue to get stronger and more alert. You are now eating pureed dinners at night and are becoming more consistent. Mom continues to come everyday and we walk outside and sit on the patio and listen to music.

The holidays are approaching and I would like to have you with us but on Thanksgiving we go to Aun’t Trudy’s and her house is too small. She always has the family and her family and there is not enough room for a wheelchair. We will come to see you first at the center and go to Aun’t Trudi’s later in the day.

We are planning on bringing you home for Christmas and keeping you overnight. I am so looking forward to it and we will have a wonderful time together. We found a van company to rent a van and will pick you up Christmas Eve and bring you home.
