It's been over ten days since my last post and there has been some inquiries about how Kathie is doing.  The answer is good.  My son, Steven, came home from the University of Texas at Austin to stay with us for Spring break.  Nothing lifts Kathie's spirits more than having one or both of our sons come to visit.  Kathie is continuing her physical therapy at Odessa Physical Therapy.  She's pleased with the attention she's getting there.  She still has some problems getting into her prosthesis in a timely manner, but once she has them on, she is showing good progress.  Prosthesis really is like learning to walk over again.  One must learn new balance and how to control the new equipment.  Progress is made in inches and months, not days.  Kathie is still ahead of the therapy curve and she continues to make progress daily.

Kathie, myself and my children are deeply in gratitude for all the help and support that everyone has shown us during our most traumatic times.  Things will always be more difficult physically and financially for us going forward.  However, spiritually we both have grown substantially.  We both appreciate the gift of life and we do not ever take it for granted.  We also look favorably on kindness of which we has seen an abundance during the last 18 months.  We cannot thank you enough.
