Men At Work

I apologize I didn't get anything blogged yesterday. I was not in a good place.

Not a lot happened yesterday. We had speech therapy, hung out at my mom's house, I went to a job interview. Pretty uneventful.

Today we met with the detective handling our case. We got some good information and Mark was able to feel like he was involved. It is very frustrating for him as he doesn't remember much of what happened. It must be wierd to know something very horrific happened to you, to see the pictures and listen to everyone talk about it, but you can't remember any of it. I'm glad he was able to visit with the police and feel some sort of inclusion.

We talked so long with the detective that we skipped occupational therapy and went right in to speech. He is really doing so well with communicating and has come so far in just a short time. They've started giving us homework assignments and I've ordered some software that will be helpful. Now if we can just schedule some time and really stick to it to get it done. I know it will be very beneficial, but we lead a crazy life running back & forth to therapies everyday. Then there's homework, dinner, reading time, etc. It's a crazy life, but it's ours!

Mark was able to go to a work related meeting today. I know it did his ego some good. He's been really down about not working and providing for his family. This keeps him involved a little and helps ease that burden. He knows he's not physically or mentally able to work yet. But he also knows that he's not making any money....and that worries us all. Thankfully we have been very blessed, financially as well as spiritually, by those who love us and care about us. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity in both areas. We have felt and continue to feel your many prayers offered on our behalf. We are living proof that prayer works and miracles are still performed today. I would dare say we have had our own "parting of the seas" miracle here. And we couldn't have done it without all of you. We love you!
