February 2009

The one year anniversary of Leonard's accident has just passed and he has certainly come a long way since that horrific day. We have managed to get past most of the speed bumps and pray there are no more. He is gettting stronger all the time with his physical therapy and God willing at his next check up on 2/16 he will get some good news about his ankle with some or all of the weight restrictions removed and then watch out, he will be walking again. Thank goodness he's a fairly patient man.

He did get some good news this past week that he no longer has to have those dreadful shots in his stomach. The blood clots are still in the legs but are greatly reduced and the blood is flowing normally. He has a recheck in 3 months.

We got a new addition to our family 2 weeks ago. Landon a 2 1/2 year old beagle came to live with us. Jaason has been asking for his very own dog for the past couple of years and I finally gave in. Very sweet disposition but he has some issues that we have to work through. We don't have a doggie door and he's used to one so we just have to figure out how to train him to go to the door and let us know. We have only heard him bark only 3 times in the entire 2 weeks.
