Vince will be going to frazier rehab in Louisville.
The goals are communication,relearning eating skills, and improving motor/mobility skills. He vocalized a lot with me on Friday. He just has to find the words because the emotion is there.

I saw Toy Story 3 and Eclipse. Toy Story 3 was really cute.
We went to a HomeArama with Tony and Rebecca. It was fun but by home 10 my feet had enough!
My Dad has lost 76 lbs.
I knew if I blogged late I would not be thinking well enough to make it interesting, but the news about Vince is really good.
Maybe I will see Predators next week.

I don't want to hurry up anyone's aging process but:
I can't wait for
--the chance to swim in the pool this summer ( just sent in the late club house fee!)
--my mazda to be painted red
--my littlest niece to know me.
--my hair to grow longer so that I can get it cut
----the satisfaction felt after the difficult task of earning my CRNA
--my brother to start and complete his Pharm D, so that he and REebecca can move to Louisville.
--for Eric to find the right girl
---for Vince to break free from his silence and immobility.

Someone asked me if I am moving on. I am not looking for a fork in the road.
I can not walk away while he is struggling to break free . No matter what life has in store for me, I will return to lock eyes with him and tell him that I love him and he means the world to me.
I pray that God will use me to comfort and strengthen Vince. He is there but his body is being stubborn, fighting against what his mind wills.
Think about what it would be like to be aware yet unable to respond because the part of your brain that controls formed speech has died and the pressure on your brain refuses to allow it to send and receive proper signals. The small bleedings that he has had in his brain are blocking some connections but the shunt has helped to drain cerebral spinal fluid pressure.
He can follow me with his eyes and move his feet together and apart on command. He can give thumbs up. When I visited him I kissed him goodbye and walked to doorway. I looked at him and he grunted and sat himself up with all his might and then fell back down. He never did this before.
Keep Vince in your prayers for a healing and that doctors will not give up on him.

Good to see that Vince is progressing. Good to see that you are there, a constant companion. Constants in life are good. Constants like the ground under our feet, happiness and sadness, waking and sleeping, true friends, God.
