More of the same...

Today was not a day of big revelations. Today was more of the same. We had our meeting today, but there was no new information. Just more of the same. We know that they will move him soon and we have to decide where. Unfortunately it will not be in Chico. There is not a facility here that meets his needs. We have some choices, and we will investigate them to find the best place for his condition. His body is stable. We hope that when he is in a different enviornment, he will have more chances for improvement. We are hopeful. He still sleeps. Time. The girls continue to be amazing. It is evident from their resilience that he has taught them well. H stopped in the middle of the day and looked up at me with those oh so familiar green eyes, and said "mommy, why is daddy drinking his milkshake with a straw in his nose, again?" "because he is sleeping, can you eat with your mouth when you are sleeping?" "Oh yeah, no I can't.....ok" then off she goes dancing and singing a little song about the colors in the rainbow. E has been just as good, focusing more on the family that is around us than on missing him. Today we read more of our book, we are 3/4 through now, it is a mystery/crime novel, just the kind he likes. We will read some more tomorrow. Sometimes I stop and glance at him, only to find those green eyes resting on mine, and my heart stops for a moment. I take advantage of those times, to smile up at him, and just sit for a few minutes, enjoying the connection, the feeling of completeness that washes over me for a few minutes more. No matter what happens, some people never get that. Today I am grateful for that. And grateful for the father he is, that has raised these wonderful kids. His never ending patience is evident in their actions now, they are living, breathing examples of him. I continue to sit with him, to love him, to have patience..
