Ups & Downs

Thank you to everyone who's asking about Gerry!  

He is doing well at home.
'Making progress and moving forward.

The first day home was the best. 
'So happy to be home that everything made him smile.  
Since then, though, he's restless and not sleeping well.
The incision is large, (from his side under the left armpit over around his back in a "hook" shape).  It makes it hard to find a comfortable position in which to lie & sleep soundly.

The good news is that we have a lot of pillows and Gerry can "construct" his bed & chair to get comfy for a short time until the discomfort sets in and reconstruction of the pillow structure comes into play.

Today, February 17th, three tiny yellow crocus bloomed in our front yard!  We feel that Spring is around the corner and hope is in the air.

The girls are very happy that they are now officially on Winter Break.  Christie will be heading off to Lake George to visit a friend for a few days, visit Siena College and play in CHSAA Basketball playoffs.  Josie will hang out with Dad, spend time with friends and play in the St. Augustine Tournament.

Although Korina just finished "reading", (audio book), an entertaining book about embracing chaos in life,  ("Perfectly Imperfect" by Lee Woodruff  http://www.leewoodruff.com/perfectly-imperfect), she is just NOT feeling like embracing the chaos of these days.  What Korina is embracing is the kindness & love of friends, happy moments like little yellow flowers smiling up from the soil in the front yard and sleep. 

We're blessed to have you in our lives!
Thanks for checking in with us.  Thanks for all you do to cheer us.  Thanks for being you!

Gerry, Korina, Christie & Josie
