Well done. I love reading the posts about children and recovery. For it is through their eyes that we can truly measure our progress.

Hope the arm heals quickly.

Your 'stories' are fascinating. Isn't it GREAT feeling(?) to be an 'adult' sometimes...and act 'grown-up'? Like learning how to walk after a broken leg repair! -grin

I hope Ashley's hanging in there and her arm heals quickly.

My husband says he's grateful even for the painful things he goes through these days because he's present and not numbing everything away.
