Quick Update

My brother is doing much better! He is still having some speech problems, but they discharged him from the hospital today! He cant drive for 2 months and will have to work shorter work shifts for a while once he goes back. They drove to the shore today, they were ready to be home. But are coming back Monday night so that he can be here Tuesday for a check up and to get the stitches taken out. He still has a lot of recovery and rehab to do and it will be a long process, but the changes in the last few days have been amazing, definite answers to prayers.

other good news, Caleb is walking! All by himself! I think chasing his cousin around motivated him. He spent most of the week w/ family in the waiting room and we were all cheering him on yesterday as he took tons of steps alone. It was exciting for everyone to be able to see this huge accomplishment and help him learn. The inlaws are here and he is loving the time w/ them. He’s doing great despite the roguh week we’ve had. We wont be back on any sort of schedule for a while, yet he amazingly naps, even at the hospital and even tonight while we ate out. he’s an angel! I think he’s napped more these last few days than he does when it was just me and him at home, I think all the walking and visiting w/ family is wearing him out.

We closed on the house today, the mortgage pymt ended up being more than we thought it would, but as Dean pointed out we still couldnt get a 2 bedroom apt for what we will be paying for a 6 bdrm, 3 bath house! (at least not in Maryland!)

I was able to nap today while Dean and his parents visited his grandad, the week has taken it’s toll on me, and after closing on the house and hearing my brother and his family were safely back at his mother in laws on the shore, I was relieved and exhausted. I came back home to rest and it wasnt long before I was out. Dean came home hours later and I still only woke long enough to get a kiss and ask what was going on. Then we got up and went to dinner,mmmm! Crabs and a shrimp salad sandwhich! Well now its time for a relaxing night at home…goodnight!
