Since I can't respond to blogs not even my own, but can start new ones ..this is my way of replying to other people's blogs.. I can respond to forums...weird, but IPAD related... I am getting used to the apple way of things so even if I invest in a new computer it will probably be a apple....time to get with the technological program I guess......... Any how sting that is so wonderful , about they coming to your house.... It would be a so much better test anyhow given the fact he is in his own environment .... And I do think Ray has sleep apnea....just because I have actually spent time there with you guys and it does seem like it takes him a long time to breath sometimes when he is sleeping but of course he isn't always asleep and is playing possum a lot so I really wouldn't know.... And now thanks to some decent cards finally being dealt to you maybe more help can be got for ray.... Has his new leg brace been done yet?? and Sandy wow... Good for you and Bob, scarey, good all, that ... And you already know what this means in terms of trying to get in front of the problem before it rolls you over..... You and I both got that going on, with our hubbies and their roaming all though Dan does most of his in the chair, thanks to this wide open space... What I am appreciating the most is dans affection ,although limited ,he is showing towards our grandson...that little guy loves his " umpa" but it more or less isn't returned ... But little glimmers now and then of the grandpa Dan wanted to be are showing up.... Sting you know that stroller bottom thing I bought that ray hated... Weston loves it , he loves to be pushed all the time in it... We figured out it is because it is similar to a wheelchair for Weston and that makes him like his umpa ...a regular stroller holds no appeal to him... Lol ...yesterday I left dans cane in parking lot... After helping him into the car , i got out of routine and wet and checked something rather than put the cane in the back of the car.. So I drove away without it.... So I had to buy a new cane( quad) ...Dan is pretty upset about it... Well crap happens..we all sure know that....Dan has had a few more BM accidents, so embarrassing for him..... I am sure that is a big part of him not willing to go anywhere without me, but seems ok with other family staying at home with him...for very limited amounts of time,.....two steps forward, one and a half steps back.. Hey at least it is a half step forward....optimism without it we would be so ..scr-wed !! Huh folks...every one have a safe, ( we are set for a big blizzard..got like six notifications on my cell phone ) weekend !!!
