As weeks fly by and summer seems to be here to stay, I think wow if you are going to be in a wheelchair, this time of year is the best.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nic has had new movement and feelings almost everyday. It is so thrilling to see such a thing, it is as though we are winning the ultimate game everyday. Each day brings us hope and positive reinforcement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It has been a long haul and promises to be longer for our family. I remember a dear friend explaining when things get tough, always remember Nic never gets an “away”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each day he wakes up he can’t go to school, get a burger, go for a pee or party with his friends. I find especially challenging when Nic gets frustrated. He is just sick of being in a wheelchair, he wants this to be over and he gets upset.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I always remember this when I feel I need to get away, take a break. I get to get the burger, go home to our beautiful town…I get an “away”. I wish I could reverse the\u00a0consequences\u00a0of this crazy accident, I wish I could give him my legs, my fingers. I would in a minute. And because I can’t do that, I make sure to make him feel that his life is \u00a0promising and there is a reason why we are here, in this moment…today.. A life that is precious and is our new normal<\/span> with so much promise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have had a busy week, we went to the Dentist of which his time in ICU and too much sugar has taken it’s toll. Whatever…we can deal with something so trivial. The Dentist is normal<\/span>, as are cavities!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Friends are Normal<\/span>! And man did we ever have a wonderful day with our friends on Saturday! Shoeless Joes Restaurant with Julie and Leanne \u00a0and their wonderful \u00a0“way too smart and beautiful” children. Mitch and Brittany where in attendance and it was great! Lucky Mom’s got to give the “kids” some time to hang, while I introduced both of my friends to Susan. Funny thing…Susan was a client last year, and for some reason I was brought another angel. I will be staying with Susan until my apartment is available….such a lovely woman.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An apartment in Toronto…who would of thunk? Country bumpkins meets the city!<\/p>\n
