Latest Update from Frosty

Sunday, November 23, 2008
Hello everyone. I thought I would update while Steve naps. Today has been a good day. We needed it. Steve has had a hard time rebounding from being so sick on Thursday. His spirits have been pretty low and that step backward did not help much.
We were not able to go to ORP's banquet last night. He was just not well enough. I surely would have driven him out there, but he was afraid he would get sick there. Frankly, so was I. He would have loved to just visit with everyone. I understand Mike had a lot of nice things to say about him and I appreciate that. I don't know the details, but I know Mike's heart when it comes to Steve.
Today he seems a little happier. I am sure it is because he feels a little better. In fact at various times today, he has "tried" to eat cereal, oatmeal, drink milk, coffee, pepsi and also asked for a subway sandwich at lunch. He was not able to consume any of it, but he "tried" and that is a good sign. He had to settle for the feeding tube, but he is glad his body is tolerating it.
We are hoping he will be able to eat on Thanksgiving. But if not, he, Lyndsay and I will just spend the day together. If he can eat, I will prepare dinner, if not, we will just skip the "eating" part of Thanksgiving, and count our blessings. There are several people who have invited us to dinner and who knows, maybe we will even take someone up on that offer. We'll just see what the day brings. One day at a time... We are getting pretty good at that.
One thing is for sure, we will be thinking of all the wonderful people who have been on this journey with us; the caregivers, doctors, nurses, technicians, friends, family and all those people we have met. If I could I would prepare a feast for all of you in honor of the kindnesses you have all shown.
Steve is getting stronger each day and I see the light in his eyes clearer with each morning. I know that God will continue to lead us and carry us when the load is to heavy and I am comforted by that knowledge.
Thank you and God bless.
Love, Frosty
