I apologize for my delayed post--I was away last week. But as always, I appreciate your continued presence here.

Steve's doctor appointment on the 11th went well. His lungs sound good. No news on a different trache which could allow Steven the ability to talk, but we remain hopeful. Steve's been doing okay; medically he's been stable. And we remind him to stay positive, that things will get better.

I hope to post more soon. Thanks all.

Happy Belated Birthday Kris!! Kris's birthday was Wednesday and the family celebrated together with lots of laughs.

Steve's been doing well, feeling pretty good, and weathering the emotional ups and downs as best he can. He shared some laughter with Sharon earlier in the week, an old friend of his parents from their Long Island days. Sharon has twin sons Steve's age, and a daughter just a bit older (hi Lisa, Steve and Jeff!). The families spent a lot of time together growing up. Keith, Sharon's husband, and Joe volunteered at the fire department together. (I can still see that photo of you two suited up and smiling.)

On the doctor front, Steve has an appointment with his pulmonologist next week. We're eager for that visit.

Thanks to everyone who continues to write in comments. They are shared with Steve and we're always so grateful for the support.
