December 8, 2009

Holy cow, is it December already?! Well, I think a quick update is in order. Bryon did finally finish his speech therapy, and was given an open invitation to sharpen his skills at the USU speech institute anytime in the future. He met all of his goals and has improved by 80% or more in most categories. There was only one area where he was improved by 76%, but that too exceeded our expectations.

Bryon is able to visit Schreiber's occasionally and enjoys seeing his work buddies. You know you have a good job when everyone you work with becomes your friend, even when your not at work. He misses the job, but admits that being able to improve his speech and fine motor skills was more important. Bryon is still unable to drive, even with his improvements, his attention span is still not where is should be. In a few months he will take a driving test in Salt Lake, it will tell him what he will need to work on to become a safer driver.

As of Monday Bryon started another chemo cycle. It is the same old story as usual, we are pretty used to it by now. The holiday season is fast approaching and we are counting our blessings. The fact that we get to be together every day, and not just on the weekends or holidays, is our greatest treasure. Having time to enjoy each others company and make memories with the girl's is more than Bryon can ask for. Now that we have some snow on the ground, our holiday is pretty much complete.

If the blog is not updated further down the road, Happy Holidays to everyone! Thanks for all your love and support all year round.
