Lois came up again, this time with Nancy, a family friend and Physical Therapist, who hoped to get her own general assessment of Vernon’s current physical state. She…

The Holy Grail
I was kind of nervous about how I’d find Vernon this morning, as he was so sluggish the past few days. But he seemed much more alert, ready to chat about dreams and music and also do some leg exercises. I had told the nurses I wanted them to cut back on the dose of drug that…

A Shift in the Wind
Life isn’t all hard. I just came home from a wonderful party with beloved people (a THANKSGIVING party, no less) and I was even able to bring the kids, who found their own buddies to tuck away with. I think going to parties with my kids (not going to kid-parties) is one of my favorite things…

I can’t let the day pass without writing a little about the significance of this day. It’s November 15th…Maki’s birthday. But not just any birthday…today we have a teenager in the house.
