It’s so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives

that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

But we sometimes take them for granted.


How grateful we should be for all have been brought into our hearts and souls.


I would remind all of you that if we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do

it

with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—because it was He who gave us life and breath"

Back to Spaulding: Third Time's a Charm!

At Mass General this morning it was more music therapy--it was the highlight of Meghan's day. We think that she has more tone/pitch in her voice just from 2 days of music therapy.
At 11am we went to the playroom for Bingo. There were about 8 kids playing and Meghan won 4 of the 10 rounds. As is typical of Meghan, her first choice was a gift for Dad, and her second choice was a gift for Brianna (they are visiting this weekend) and her third choice was going to be a gift for me but I adamantly refused so she chose something for herself. Gee Sweetie, could you channel some of this luck medically????
And of course, we had to wrap up the morning with a visit from Duffy the therapy dog.

This afternoon we were able to do Round #4 of Proton therapy but we were delayed for 2 hours as the cyclotron is starting to act temperamentally again. Will we be able to finish the week? The engineers don't feel as if they have fully identified the issue that caused the previous 8 day delay. The only other medical center in the world who owns this machine is in Japan, and they have not had the same issue. If the engineers need to work on the cyclotron, it must be on a weekend.....it takes 12 hours just to restart the machine. We could use some of your luck now Meghan!

We were finally admitted back to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital for the third time. Now we intend to stay here and finish all our therapies. Our pledge: We will not be wheeled out of Spaulding again, the next time, we will skip out--with NO CANE. We had to laugh as we are beginning to refer to Spaulding as "home!" and the nurses as "family!"
