Sherman's update

once again I am neglectful in keeping you posted on Sherman's progress. Last Friday the Rehab Department had let me know that Sherman was going to be named "Star of Rehab". This is a weekly honor they give to one of the hard workers. He has really earned it.

There was a couple days last week when he wasn't feeling to good - some kind of stomach bug. He is on the road again. This Sunday they are having a Super Bowl party at the Center. He is all set for that. I try to give him something to look forward to so we are planning a Birthday party for him on Feb. 21 @ 2 PM. I marked it on his calendar so he can count the days. They are also going to have a Valentine Party at the Center. They have already put decorated Valentine bags on everyone's door so you can drop Valentines in. I guess with all of his friends I'll have to buy two boxes of cards. They are always doing something to keep interest up. I guess for Easter they will have an Easter Egg hunt. That will be something to see.

I am going to try to send a picture of Sherman with his gold star.

Please continue the prayers and thoughts,
Love,
Dolores

Sherman

I have been getting flack because I haven't sent out an update. The reason I haven't is because not much is happening. Sherman is working steadily to improve. The surgery set him back some but we are gaining ground again. He has started asking me when he is going to "get out". I keep telling him it depends on him. He still has no strength on his right side and he is trying to speak but if you aren't there everyday to listen and know what he is saying you can't understand. The sounds he makes sound like huffing sounds.

Please continue to pray for his improvement. He is being well taken care of at the health and rehab but I know he wants to be here. Sheryl is going to be picking him up tomorrow (Saturday) and he will spend part of the day here at home. Next month I am going to try to plan a surprise party for him to come home to for his birthday. We may try to bring him home on the 22nd (Sunday) but I am not sure yet. I have to get with my party planners. :)

Thank all of you for your concerns, well wishes and prayers. Your strength has helped me to be strong enough to deal with day to day things.

Love and blessings to all,
Dolores
