A Wonderfully Busy Week

Hey Forrest,  I'm sorry we haven't written lately.  It's been a challenge just keeping up with you this week and the days are flying by. Here are some highlights:


Dr. FaLkenstein, with  Maxie cheering you on, removed the surgical drains from your back incision ."ouch" 


This required a celebratory ice cream at Scruffy's!


Your great pal Keith came to visit and you got to ride in his Jeep with him to the Hill School! 


Where a rousing game of bocce ball ensued. 


You began balance and strengthening exercises with your great champion, and extraordinary physical therapist, Del.

I don't have a picture for the most exciting news. With Tami's help, You completed your application for college!!! Beginning with an online course at Northern Virginia Community College, hopefully beginning next week!

You still tire easily and are in some discomfort, but your characteristic good humor and determination challenge us all to keep up!  And this next week promises to be just as exciting.  

Thrilled with your progress and grateful to be home,

Mum
