Ethan has had a pretty good week so far. We quietly assess his
abilities each time we are with him, but formerly do so as
something happens or weekly. We are totally aware that
he continues to decline physically, but the speed at which
it takes place is also important to us. His changes at times
happen quickly with several in a short time. Other times they
are few and spaced apart. This week has been a slow week
with only a couple noticeable changes over the past week.
To us, that is good news !
Ethan continues to receive mail. Over this week, he has received
about a dozen cards and one package. The package helped Ethan
celebrate "flag day". Thank you Russ and family. He was a teacher
that worked with Grandma - real nice person !
Alisha came by to visit also. Ethan really enjoys time with her and
she can always get a smile on Ethan's face. She also brought him a
DVD - "Alvin and the Chipmunks". Thank you Ducky.
Today Ethan got all excited when Grandma brought in some
harvest from their garden. He helped select what would be planted
and really enjoys watching things grow and then picking them.
One of his favorites from past years has been carrots. He helped
plant them, them would pick - wash - and eat them. This year
is no different except he cannot eat them. It was so special
watching today as he gave his first picked carrot of the year to
our dog Chip. We call laughed as Chip ate it fro Ethan's hand.
We continue to be blessed with prayers and support. To all of you,
thank you very much.
