Timothy had the last of his therapies and consultations today. Social workers are still trying to co-ordinate our follow-up visit to Madonna. It will probably be sometime in August.
We took a four-block wheelchair walk today. I was talking and pointing out different things. When we left the Madonna grounds, the sidewalk had two or three rough places along the way. When I ran into the first one, Timothy said, "Mom, quit talking and pay attention to where we're going." After the third rough ridge he said, "This wasn't a very good place to go." Finally, I replied, "We aren't always going to have smooth Madonna sidewalks. We've got to learn to deal with all kinds of rough patches." As we reached the Madonna turn-in, Timothy seemed to be holding onto his Halo. I asked him, "Are you shading your eyes from the sun or holding your Halo on?"
"A little of both!", was the wiseacre reply.
So with everything we've been through, Timothy still has his sense of humor. I think I'm ready for the next chapter titled "Back Home Again!"
