8.6.08

Steve had a packed house for movie night last night. I had to walk through two rows of boys to get through the room. Pretty awesome. I know that Steve had a good time. The flicks were Semi-Pro, and then Spies Like Us, which seemed to earn more laughter than Semi-Pro. Uncle Joe stocked Steve with a bunch of new movies before he left.

Steve's been feeling pretty good and sleeping through the night, for the most part. His chair has been re-programmed and yesterday he got to drive it very briefly. It's going to take some time to get used to. Kris is going to mount the vent onto the back, and they are going to add a pole to hold his feeding bag, and then he will truly be mobile. The chair is so zippy now that trying trail Steve with the vent pole is tricky. And as you might imagine, Steve's pretty fast. We've been talking about how he needs to get out into the driveway to practice, it's just been so damn hot. Joe keeps saying that he's going to get him up at the break of day so that the temp is tolerable. Sounds like a plan. I know that Steve is ready to go.
