Well, as you can see, Peter needs another surgery. Edda plowed through the patch like a beaver through a log.

Things are going well, Vince is happy to be back at his school and delighted in giving German chocolates to his classmates.

Edda started her school also and I’ve been taking her for about 1.5 hours everyday, but I think next week we’ll be ready for 3 hours every morning and we are arranging for 30 minutes of 1-on-1 therapy at the school 3-4 times a week.

We had our first post-vacation physical therapy session with Diane today and she was impressed with the improvement in just the one month (without any therapy) that we’ve been away, so that’s also encouraging, that are increased interaction with her just in our daily lives is helping her.

I’ve been a little bit anxious about setting things up, because things get complicated with childcare and dropping kids off and picking them up and such things, but we are working through it all with a lot of help. It’ll be great to have grandparents around during July when schools are in and out of session – I could use a lot of help then.

Dad – Vince is so excited that you are coming. He wanted to know if you are coming tomorrow and that he needed to get the guest bedroom ready “RIGHT NOW!” Sweet boy. Loves his granddad.

Meeting Our Friends with Cancer, etc

This Thursday, we are driving back to Washington DC to meeting our three friends with cancer. On Saturday we will have lunch with them. This will be the third time for me and second time for Mom recently. Three of them are all very optimistic and outward looking. Very glad to see them laughing and joking together.

In the meantime, on Friday, we will dine with an couple [former colleagues] who, over the years, stayed in our house a day or two while visiting physicians in Washington DC. They live in the countryside. To take a trip back and forth within a day is just too much for them. So they stay in our house. We are very happy to have them around though we never being there at the same time with them. This time we will be together for sure.

Tosh and Ruby.

I think Ruby was not excited to come home. I think she had a better time at the dog sitters than she is having with us. She spent a whole 2 days moping and whining.
