Well things are going pretty good for us, the sun is shining for the first time it seems in a long time. Carol and I had to take Safiya up to Swedish for a minor surgery around her eye last Friday (picture attached:)). She had some small bumps around her left eye. She did great with the sedation and waking up, etc. It seems overnight Safiya is putting together sentences and talking really well. She keeps wanting to sit on the potty like her big sister, but isn't quite sure what to do up their, but she really wants to do the whole thing including flushing and washing hands. Her Birthday party in the tricities was great as well...nice to have the sunshine. I'll attach a couple photos of that also.

Carol's health seems to be doing good. She may be ending formal rehab stuff at the end of summer, or fall. I guess that is a good sign of progress, but feels like cutting the cord a bit. Her prosthetics are going great. She is starting to think more and more about further prosthetic options for her left arm. She has a couple things (hand and hook) but all of that has been on the back burner for quite some time.

Our house is slowly coming together, I keep forgetting to take pictures. Hopefully we will be insulating and sheetrocking in the next couple weeks to month. Talk soon!!

Just want to thank you for your updates. I love to hear how everyone is doing and am so happy that Carol is doing so well. You have such a beautiful family and I know your new home will be filled with many happy memories. I have been following your blog for nearly two years and your story is pretty incredible. I am happy that Carol has such a loving, dedicated husband who was there to fight for her and fight with her and to offer neverending support and love. You all are amazing! Lots of love from San Diego.
