Her mom, Adriana also stitched me a little angel. I forgot to photograph it but will for my next blog.
Been stitching away on Carol's neighborhood. Got a nice chunk done today.
On the personal front, DH and I managed to pack all boxes and other assorted belongings into the van today without an argument or hassle. That is rare but today it worked. Cause for celebration. We are closing our house up tomorrow and going to visit our son in Ottawa for a week.
I talked to my sister Sherry last night. Jim is making steps forward. When he saw my mom yesterday he said "Hey" for the first time. Sherry bundled him into their van with my mom and her kids and they took him to IHOP for supper. Sherry was rattling away about the menu to him. He spoke up "Your" he said, she said "talking too fast". He said "Yes" and pointed to his choice on the menu. He has taken a couple of steps with a three-footed cane. He can haul himself out of his bed to the wheelchair and from the wheelchair to the tiolet and back. He is learning to compensate for his paralyzed right side. They are small steps but good steps. Each one is the answer to a prayer.

Beatrice did a wonderful job with the pillow, it is beautiful. Glad to hear that Jim is making improvements, and have a wonderful week with your son.
Ya'll are so sweet to my greatest Sister. Without her those cruical first days I cant say we'd have gotten thru it.
We are minute to miles each day. He now can even show he is ticky (nice way to say it) to me as Im not doing as he wishes. He strongly wants to go home.
He is having pain in right hip,right knee and moved 2 fingers yesterday. But with each new day a new change occurs.
Thank You all for your prayers and we'll muddle the slow climb and hope for the best.
They tell me a long recovery and only time will tell how much improvement can be made.
Beatrice your a Doll and Kathy is blessed you are in her life.
Will be awhile before he is medically stabe to come home and have to have a wall down to make wheelchair accessible.
Take Care All
