Saturday afternoon

We (Clyde, Deb, Scott, Kelly, Kelsey) visited Brian today and he was a wonderful sight to behold. When Clyde & I arrived, there he was, sitting right inside the open door to his room, just looking FINE. We were astonished -- seeing him sitting, a first for us, and moving about, pushing his chair around with his feet. Giving super strong hugs!! He felt so solid - the weight re-gain is great. Looking like he could get out of the chair at any moment.It was the best. Until just now, after reading Marcy's blog from yesterday, I didn't realize he had run a temp recently. He just really seemed fine.

Some highlights for MY bleezy: again, the hugs; the handsome face, the smiles when we joked around, the plaid tennis shoes in motion, sipping water from a straw, listening to Drop Kick Murphy (thanks, Ben!), Brian putting on the latest pair of get-well shades that Scott brought (this moment is captured digitally on Scott's phone I believe), me fighting with Brian as he was inches away from getting from his chair onto the bed (good natured struggle, he was smiling ... though maybe later on he'll tell me differently!)

Kelly and Kelsey arrived and Brian did some showing off for them. Then he was resting his eyes for a bit (they had seemed dry/ irritated so we had requested the eyedrops, which may sting a little). We did not get to hear Brian speak today - guess he wasn't in the talking mood, but he communicated with us instead through actions, facial expressions, thumbs-up, that sort of thing.

Brian, you were a blessing to us today. Thanks for having us, and may the Lord continue to bless and keep you. We love you! Uncle Clyde & Aunt Deb
