Dear Friends,
Who could have imagined this journey?
I am so glad that our days are illuminated one at at time. We are given such a gift in our temporal existence. Today is a good day. Yesterday was a good day. I am posting a picture that my dad took of Danny on a quail hunt (just yesterday). It was only the second time that Dan and I have been apart for more than a few hours in months. The last time was two weeks back when Dan went to a movie with his dad (who was in town for a visit from Texas). That day, I was called to meet Danny and his dad at the hospital where Dan had been taken after he had a seizure while at the movie theater--scary.
Yesterday was different. There were no emergencies and all was well. It was amazingly quiet here at the house without Dan. I stayed busy but very vigilant (I must have checked my cell phone a hundred times).
Dan's seizure was probably a result of scar-tissue in his brain and should be controllable with medication. We will visit with Dr. Nick on the 18th to discuss the Novo-Cure helmet among other things. I will keep you all posted as I know more. For the time being, Dan has to put up with my driving...he seems quite stoic about the whole thing...for now.
As for me, I am enjoying every moment with Dan and the kids. I tell you, truly, the air is still different in my world. It is no longer too thin to sustain my breath, but it has taken on richer qualities. I relish in the very smell of those that I love. I appreciate the fact that they (and you) are here.
Love,
Leah
