Well, Lee is home on shore leave. It feels so good to have him here and see him sitting back in his recliner, where he belongs. We will take him Mon. morning and admit him to Rusk Rehabilitation Center. Therapist today were please with his "performances", and don't estimate that he should be there long. I'm thinking maybe a week at the most. Maybe even as little as 3-4 days. I'd rather him take the few extra days and get this show on the road, and he feels the same. This will only speed up his recovery and get him to feeling like his old self again. Even the difference between yesterday and today was amazing. All day yesterday I would have to help lift him out of the wheel chair and he was still very unsteady on his feel. Taking little small scoots, instead of steps. When I got there today, I was ready to help lift him from the chair and take him to the bathroom. Instead he just reached down with his hands and pushed himself up out of the chair...not even a wobble. And preceeded to take full size steps toward the bathroom.... I was shocked. His improvedment at least tripled from what it was yesterday. If he does that everyday... it will be no time before he's back in tip top shape.

Your prayers and God's grace are the only reason I believe that he his home with me right now. God is so awesome! He watches his children, just as he watches the sparrow. I will never be able to thank you all enough for all the prayers, love, and support that you've all offered. It really has meant so much to me and helped me get through this trying time. Please just continue to pray for us and our family. We still have a long road ahead of us. But I know we WILL make it.

Much love to you all.....

Lee and Lev
