Lisa Today - May 6, 2007


Select Specialty Hospital
Phoenix, Arizona

Not a lot to talk about this week so I have included three pictures of Michael to share with you. All of the pictures were taken while Lisa with Richard and Michael were all resting in the healing garden at St. Joseph’s Medical Center. Richard’s cell phone, as you can see does a pretty nice job on a catch as catch can camera work. The weather was picturesque according to Richard, and Michael was really fun to be with as he remains mostly cheerful. The third photograph clearly illustrates that for a 15-month old; idleness is altogether uninteresting and therefore intolerable. So, here he is trying out some of his moves. For Michael movement is constant. His every wakening moment is an opportunity for discovery, adventure and exploration. But then, running constantly at a very high RPM rate is not without its consequences, and resting one’s engine is not only necessary, but as the picture on the left proves; irresistible.

Richard meanwhile continues his recruiting efforts to find the right person who can and will provide Lisa’s home health care. I’ll let you know as soon as possible when he finds the right person, but for now there’s nothing new to tell you.

I’m sad to report; the Susie and Lyle Wuertz Family of Indiana suffered a dreadful loss last week with the passing of Susie’s dear Mother--who had just recently celebrated her 99th birthday. The Wuertz’s are close friends to Richard and Lisa. When one’s time of passing arrives it brings a deep sadness and isolation to our core. Though, with the touch of those to whom we draw close, we find comfort, and thank G_d, for that and the life lived.
