On May 5th, 2010 our life was redefined when we discovered that I have a tumor
growing in the spinal cord of my neck.

The purpose of this blog to keep an updated record of our "Life Redefined" and give you the details you might be wondering about (surgery, recovery and other random daily stuff, etc...)

For our friends and our family members who want to be kept updated this is the easiest way for us to do it. It's also good therapy for me to write it down!

We still want you to call or visit if you feel like it - we find so much strength from you. All of your words and encouraging thoughts and prayers are a great blessing for us!

A Joke from a new friend!

One of my favorite people here in the hospital is named Keri.  He is a wonderful father and husband who suffered and ATV accident on April 16th.  He flew off a cliff and landed on his head and he is now a quadriplegic.  He has some arm movement but that's all.  He has faith like none other.  One day he looked me straight in the eyes and said, "I wouldn't change this experience for the world."  He is AMAZING and such a great example to me!  All day I see others who are way worse off than I am and they remind me that I truly am okay.  I have nothing to complain about!

So Keri was just down in a group OT session with me and he told a couple of us this story!

"Did you hear about the 4 year old boy who went up to his Grandpa and asked, "Hey Grandpa, when are you going to turn into a frog?" 

The Grandpa replied, "Why would you ask that?" 

The little boy replied, "Well Daddy says that when you croak we're going to Disneyland!"
