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.

If you want a movie to just laugh at with no emotional tug see Despicable Me. It is so funny. Such great news about Vince. I still follow him on Caring Bridge. It was so thoughtful of you to help out while his family went out of town.

Glad to hear from you!

by AlanL at 07/14/10 11:06AM
So glad to hear that about Vince!! :) And I agree with kingslh, Despicable Me is great!! I laughed a lot. :) Congrats to your dad with his weight loss, as well. :) I hope you're enjoying your summer!

sometimes i chronicle my life by what movies i've seen or want to see

by fullofgrace at 07/17/10 2:19AM
Sarah! It's been way too long since we talked or chatted or said hi or anything. Thanks for stopping by!

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.

i want to see both of those movies. bollywood movies not so much (-;

By the way, I thought you would be amused to know that the car salesman was named Steve Perry.

I want to hurry up my patience

at 06/23/10 12:01AM

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.

Such is life.

by AlanL at 06/23/10 10:37AM
i just turned 30 so i'm in no hurry for any aging process.... (-:

Hey...long time, no comment! ;) I must tell you that I saw you in person at Douglass Hills last Sunday (6/27). I didn't get to speak to you due to much 'confusion' and indecision after worship services that morning. I was there with a bunch of other people from here in Athens AL. Our (Athens Bible School's) Junior Beta club group talent was there in Louisville to perform at the National Convention -they won first place here in Alabama in March so they advanced the nationals. (By the way, we came in second! My oldest son was the director and my middle son performed in the group.) Anyway! I saw you, and I assume it was your dad, on the back row - we were sitting in chairs just right outside the window behind you. I recognized you from pictures on here, and thought I remembered that you attended there. I felt a little like a stalker (although I don't stalk you...I rarely get on pleonast anymore, it's all about Facebook, at least that's where I end up most of the time). ha ha! Sorry I didn't speak to you but after the first part of worship was over we ended up going to the auditorium for the class, I don't know if you were still there or not, then we had to decide about where to eat, in order to get back to the Marriott for the kids to have rehearsal that afternoon. So, I will just say it was good to see you but I wish I had officially met you. :D

talk to you soon.

Hello! I just dropped by here yesterday.

Wonderful! Enjoy time with the family.

You are still my valentine.

at 02/14/10 8:12PM *

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.

my prayers be with you and his family as he is haveing a very hard time right and my prayers are with the doctors to help him as much as they can

by moe at 02/14/10 8:46PM
I completely agree, Sarah. I know that Mandi deserves MUCH better than what she is getting, but SHE doesn't, which is the problem. Thank you for the very wise advice. That gives me more "ammo" when I'm talking with her about her situation. I think she is afraid of being alone (which is a legitimate fear!) so she stays with him. Her family life is pretty much non-existent because of her fiance. He has caused so many rifts between her and her mother (her father has passed away, and she has a step-father who doesn't get along with her). She goes to the Baptist church three times a week, but she doesn't agree with a lot of what they teach. She won't go anywhere else because that's where Gill (her fiance) wants to go. I've invited her to go to church with us, and to come to family studies, but she won't come because Gill has such a choke-hold on her. Please pray that I will have wisdom when talking with her! It's so hard to understand where she's coming from because I am not and have not ever been in a situation like that. I just need a lot of prayers to know what the Word says, and to try to persuade her in the right direction.

by heather at 02/14/10 9:30PM

by bobthetomato at 02/14/10 10:25PM
you are both in my prayers

by the_sexy_mosher at 02/16/10 11:14AM
You are such an angel of love! Keep on being Jesus' smile and voice and hands and feet to Vince as long as you are able.

by markolinux at 02/16/10 12:11PM
Really I didn't know that. S

by bsmac at 02/17/10 11:19PM
This story brings tears to my eyes. I am praying for yourself and Vince.

by towelhead at 02/19/10 1:32PM
Lol. Yeah. It is quite interesting!! I have learned a whole lot there. It's good to hear from you. I'm so sorry about your valentine. I'll be praying!!

by derek89 at 02/25/10 10:18PM
Hey Sarah, thanks for the comments on my blog and helping me to keep things in perspective. I can't imagine what it must be like to be dealing with what's on your plate. I will pray for you. Stay strong!
