With the Tommy blog, no news is good news. When everything is ok, there's less to say. (Who was that modernist architect who said, "Less is more"?) We have been enjoying lots of phone calls and visits on the back deck with friends. Somebody lobs the tennis balls for the dogs with the Chuck-it that Diana and Larry brought us, and somebody grills something, and we pass around the binoculars and watch the jet-skis dodging the fishing boats dodging the kayakers in the creek. Tommy is working hard in his three-times-a-week therapy sessions. He's still a "moderate assist," but that's fine; he lost a lot of ground during that setback in June and July. Ugh...I'm not even going to try to count up the number of doctor visits and blood-giving sessions for those two months alone. Now, everything is going in the right direction, and Tommy's blood work is "normal", and normal never sounded so good. In other words, we are more than happy with less. Except for family & friends. We are so grateful for all the love you guys out there have sent our way, in so many different forms. We look forward to seeing and/or talking with all of you as we move into fall.
