PERFECTING SKILLS






Danny went up n down practice steps for me, and then 2 flights of stairs today, and did great. He is practicing stepping up and down curbs, and stepping over obstacles. Tomorrow phone calls again, and some organizing in the house. Up to home depot 2 shop 4 railing 4 opposite side of stairway and in the shower. 
Despite 7 missed days due to the accident, being upset for danny, and the chaos of the past 7 1/2 wks, nick was once again only 4 points from straight A's! I am so proud of the kid he has become over the past 2yrs. Danny, you really instilled the desire in nick 2 do his best, have a good attitude abt n care abt his education. IlyD! 
Oh my, so many phone calls 2 make, forms 2 fill out, n information 2 organize. I need 2 spend the day sorting thru this paper trail n making lists. I can feel my attention deficit disorder most at these times. Danny would say 2 relax, breathe, pay attention, go one step at a time. Im listening hunny, n we will get thru all this together one step at a time. 
Almost midnight, still up n finishing wash n odds n ends. Still tons 2 do but not tonight. Up to get nick 2 school then down 2 see danny. The nurse told me when i called tonight that he walked less n rested in his bed more!
