Just a Bit of Dust 6/30/16

We are so thankful to be home!!!  
We are looking at a layer of dust on everything. It is like our house is frozen in time. We left for a weekend and instead we’ve been gone for 7 months. Christmas pictures on the refrigerator, laundry waiting to be done, unfinished home projects and tools out, expired food…..and dust…lots of dust. We added several boxes and furniture from Houston. It is hard to know where to start.

Robbie saw Dr Lin today and he has given us permission to move back to Oklahoma. Robbie will need to continue with physical therapy and there could be future leg surgeries, but for now we are celebrating!! We have started packing and we hope to be back in Edmond by Thursday night! 
We will miss his therapists and Doctors. They are amazing! Here are a few of them.

Jim and I took the kids to see the Texas battleship. You can climb all over the ship. We helped Robbie to the first two floors. It was interesting to walk around the ship. Robbie had fun taking pictures, but the combination of Houston heat and a weak body, caused him to crash fairly quickly.


Wonderful Cards! 6/25/16

Robbie is enjoying all the birthday cards!! Thank you for taking the time to write to him!

His sister Ruth and her husband Nick are on their way to Houston today. If Robbie’s doctor appointment goes well on Monday, they are going to help us pack and move back to Oklahoma. We are praying his leg is straight enough to avoid  another surgery. I’ve had a lot of headaches lately….the stress of it all! 

Happy 23rd Birthday, Robbie 6/23/16

Here is a shaky 3 min home movie of Robbie coming home from the hospital. He was 1 day old at St Ann’s hospital in Westerville, Ohio.  Ruth was 8 and Lynn was 5 years old. They had on face paint after playing at our neighbors. There is also a little footage of my dad holding him with my mom talking in the background. Robbie’s cousin Jackie and my sister Terry came too.

Happy 23rd birthday, Robbie! Love you so much! You have a bright future ahead!
