Hi Everyone

Well the computer is back from the computer hospital so I guess it is time for a "Sherman Update". He is doing really good. Actually gaining some weight. His color is also improving - probally because he goes outside and tries to play Frisbee with Katie. We got his power chair ordered today so look out he may be on your porch one day. he is really looking forward to having that.

We still have therapist and aides and nurses coming to the house but not as often as before. He is able to help me help him and is really doing a lot for himself. He still wants to go with me every time I go anywhere and of course he doesn't want to wait in the car. We try to do all of our errands in D'ville once a week and sometimes that means me helping him in and out of the car up to 10 times. I told him that was not working out to good so now he will wait in the car if I run in to get dog food or something like that.

We do make it to Church on Sunday morning and he really enjoys that and everyone enjoys seeing him. I think it is the attention he is getting because there is always a really big grin on his face. One of the ladies in the choir told me Sunday that it is so sad to sit in the choir and watch him try to sing. (he was a member of the choir) That is still the most frustrating part of the stroke - not being able to make your feelings known. We have ordered a computer for him that he can type and then it will speak for him. He has been using my laptop to type on and to practice but this one will actually say the words. I am looking forward to that one.

Hopefully the computer will stay fixed for a long while and I can keep you posted. Please continue to pray for our sanity. lol

Love,
Dolores
