Slowly progressing

Hey all, thought I'd throw another little update out for you. I spoke with Karen yesterday (as well as Dad later), and they have moved back to Ohio to her house in Fremont. Dad I guess was able to make the drive back okay, so they are safely ensconced at her house for a while.

Karen said that the visual therapist said her eye really won't start to heal itself for another few months, and that they're basically saving the surgery for quite a while, possibly an entire year. She's a little bummed about that because it means she won't be able to drive for quite a while yet, as her eye is no where near corrected enough to allow her to do so safely. Dad is going to stay and help of course, but at some point he needs to come back to NY to take care of some things.

So I might be heading out there sometime in the next month, not sure yet. Anyway she's home at least and I'm sure she'd welcome some phone calls and the like :) - she's working on her dissertation and catching up on some other stuff, but she's not allowed to work full time because she still needs rest.

Hope everyone else is doing well :)

Been a while!

Greetings, Troupers!

Sorry it's been a while between updates, but I have been busy moving into my new house, and also I have extended my time in the Army Reserves, so I've been running around taking care of some things for that. Happily we are almost entirely moved in now, except that we are farm sitting for my in-laws, so we won't really live here until next week. We're looking forward to it, though.

I spoke to Karen yesterday and she is sounding great - she said that she's done with speech therapy now, and just has vision therapy at this point. Not sure how much longer that will go on but probably for a while yet. She and Dad are still staying in Indy and enjoying our grandmother's house, which makes me happy.

I haven't heard a whole lot more from anyone in particular so I guess that means that things are settling back down for everyone, which is good. I hope you all had a good weekend and a good Martin Luther King Day :)

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a good New Year's Eve. Unfortunately we had to skip the ball drop again (lousy internet, it doesn't stream very well out here in the boonies) but we still had a tiny celebration on our own.

I don't have much to report, although I talked to dad the other day and he said the doctors weren't concerned about Karen's fainting episode - I guess it just happens sometimes. Our sister Melinda is back in town and as far as I know they're all spending time together, but I haven't heard anything more.

Hope everyone is doing ok, and I'll see you all later...
