Well, Ray continues to make progress!

They have taken him down to physical therapy to get him moving a little. With a lot of help, he can take a few steps to and from the wheel chair. That's big progress!

Thanks for all your prayers!

Hi Mike and Jane,

I hope things are going well with Ray this week. I wanted to let you know that I completed the podcast for my kids today and it is uploaded to iTunes. To subscribe, and hear it, just click here: itpc://e1podcast.wnyric.org/weblog/s...t/?flavor=rss2

When iTunes opens on your computer, it will prompt you to download the podcast (as well as get the other ones I've posted if you wish). The one on the Triune Brain Theory is the one where I referenced Ray. I didn't use names or locations, just the anecdote. Thanks for example...

-Mike Fisher

Mike,
I have not heard how your father-in-law is getting on. As well as can be under the circumstances I hope.
Not easy and we all do the best we can for our elders, even though it can be immensely frustrating, time consuming and ultimately sad.
Hope you both are coping as well as possible.
Cheers,
Vim
