On The Mend With Howard

Today was an encouraging day.  Joe, Deb, Jon and Anna visited Howard this morning and he was able to laugh at little jokes and seemed to understand who they were.  This afternoon Kristi, Sophie, Mike, Kathi and I journeyed up the "hill" and visited two at a time.  He seemed much more able to understand who we are.  His words were easier for us to understand and he smiled more than we had yet seen.  His feet looked so much better with less swelling and normal color. His surgeon is very pleased by his progress but has not yet scheduled the surgery for them.  They have discontinued the drugs that kept mostly sedated so that his mind can clear.

Kristi worked in Shepherd Accounting and the rest of the above family worked here in our yard to clean up some areas and repair our garden drip system
