We have completed another week! :)

Hey Everybody,

This, I think has been one of Butch's hardest weeks ever. The therapist have "upped their game" because of how hard he is working and his great attitude. I can't say enough of how proud I am of him. I had the opportunity to watch him in a session yesterday. He really didn't care for me being there until Kathryn his main therapist explained the importance of me seeing certain exercises that we can do here in the apartment and at home (Durham, NC).

Butch reassured me that it wasn't personal, he just wanted me to see him at his best and not struggling. I did not remind him that I was there 24/7 from the time he had the stroke at home, continued recovery process and the amazing progress he has made. He can be so hard on himself sometimes.  He is a proud man and I love the fact he wants to show me his best.

I see improvements daily. He is saying peoples names, writing out words when he cant say them, using other modes of communication via expression, hands, body language, humming tunes and giving great descriptions of things to help me figure out subject matters. He's steadily improving but not fast enough for him. I keep telling him, "not your time but Gods"! He will say, "I know" which calms him when he gets a little upset when he cant get a thought across. Trust me, God is working miracles here and everybody in the program loves him.

You all know we are still exploring new restaurants and occasionally walking by the "Amusement Park" aka "CAR LOT" so Butch can fantasize about getting one of those "houses on wheels"! If you don't know, they cost more than most of our homes.....what the heck! SERIOUSLY! I can't even wrap my head  round it.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers and began the count down for our return :) I hope you love the pics below.
