#61 Update January 25th 2010

Sean is able to shower & wash his hair by himself now. Steady progress and improvement. He dresses himself , needs some help tying his shoes and can feed himself a lot better than before. He hasn't been himself this last week, he is more tired than usual and has been a little dizzy. No fever or cold just not himself, no complaints just wants to sleep, so we let him sleep and are keeping a close eye on him. The hematologist got his tests back and they were all normal, so we still have no idea what caused the blood to thicken and clot like it did.
Thanks for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers he still needs them.

#60 Update January 9th, 2010

The holidays were quiet, reflective and wonderful. Sean enjoyed the snow but not the cold. He got some new snow boots that REI had on sale just his size, he really likes them. We are looking forward to moving forward even more this year. Sean is still making progress which is the blessing. He really enjoyed seeing Great Aunts & Uncles and cousins at Christmas. Thank you to those of you that made the effort to talk to him, it meant a lot. Remembering back to last Christmas and comparing it to this one was hard. Each day is a gift and so are your loved ones. Hopefully on the 19th we will have some answers from the Hematologist as to why and what caused the blood clots.
