Abby update - December 21

We all had a great day at home today. Abby spent much of the day with Arby by her side. During the morning we made him wait outside for her to come out and walk with him, by lunch he had worked his way into the kitchen (where she fed him most of her lunch--off her spoon!), by later afternoon, he was fully comfortable by her side in the new living room, and now he is asleep with her on her bed. I'd say he's glad that Abby is home too! Frank's also doing a great job of helping Abby get settled and encouraging her in doing things--I'm proud of the maturity and love he's shown.

Though we've got a lot of things on our "to-do" list, today we mostly just enjoyed being here with each other. Tomorrow Abby gets visits from therapists, then maybe we'll tackle unpacking and Christmas decorating. For now, I'd like to go try out that new bedroom again...

Love,
Lee Ann, Gordon, Abby & Frank (& Arby & Amigo)

yeah, I have been told the book idea is a good one. By none other than 'Whooper named Frank', Author, David Torres. He said it would make a wonderful inspirational book. Anyway I too, agree don't stop if at all possible.
