After the news on this morning's post, could things get any better? Well, yes they can! Joey got to eat a slice of peanut butter toast and pudding!! You would have thought he was eating at a fine restaurant. He savored every bite. Caleb was here to witness this milestone event, too. Not only did he get to eat, he practicly ran down the hall everytime we went for a walk.
No news is good news as far as the ultrasound goes, so I guess we can set that worry on the back burner. His feet are still quite huge, but that too will subside.
We did have a few visitors today, which was a wonderful distraction to our otherwise quiet day. Caleb really needed a "Dad day", so he took some time off from school. Cameron stopped by a couple of times, as did Bry. We love this family time! Talk to you all tomorrow. Hopefully more good news!!

  7. Morning All,

    Good news all around is always nice to hear!

    If you could send me an email address so I can send a joke the post from the other day made me think of, "rocker@myfairpoint .net", if you get time. Melanie would smack me if I post it here.

    Love, Melanie and Larry

  9. So happy things are progressing well - love hearing how well things are going. We all know what a tough hurdle that surgery was and you guys certainly held strong! Sure hope that release is soon!

    Kerri, probably your Mom can go with you, but if you need a ride to Portland Tuesday, I'm on vacation next week so could do that or could stay and wait on Joe. Looking forward to seeing you guys soon.

  11. Kerri and Joey, We are hearing the loons calling to Joey... "Get Well, Get Home!" It sounds like things are going smoothly and we hope to see you on the "road" soon.
    We are 1000 feet away if you need anything and are tired of asking the same folks!
    I am still learning about this blog business. I worked for over an hour thinking I had to sign in. Ezra just pointed to this little white box! So Voila`, here I am.(Don't want to be smug in case I can't send it and where's the spell check?)
    Please know that we all care deeply about your well being in this great battle you are engaged in. You are both formidable and we are keeping you in our thoughts daily. Steve,Andrea,Ellen,Ezra

  12. Good Morning! I'm thinkin' about you STILL! I find myself imagining what it will be like when you finally get to make that journey north, drive up the Upper Dedham Road, and down to the lake to your beautiful home. When you walk in that door, what a WONDERFUL feeling that will be and the smiles on your faces will be wider than the lake itself! I'd love to be a fly on the wall! What a GREAT day that will be! Just keep on keepin' on...keep doin' what you're doin' (SO WELL), and that day will be here SOON! You are cared for deeply! Kim and Tom
