It's been a tough week. Dave's mobility seems to be getting worse. In our family we call it a slide. Things can be going along good, then you start to notice little things...then something big bring us to our senses. Thursday nite at 4 :30 am Dave had a significant fall. He landed on the back of his head, but with such force, he split his head into a "v" shaped wound. He needed 10 stitches and his head is shaved at the back. Ashlea teases him and tell him he looks like he had brain surgery. So, we are recovering, it's getting past the "what-ifs" and implementing a lot of new safety measures. Dave's is safest when he is in his wheelchair. The "petite" quality of mom and dad's cottage poses a problem but most of all it is transportation we are in great need of. We are so thankful for the up coming Benefit on October 17. The amount of dedicated people to coordinate this is astounding! Thank you all in advance for all you are doing, for Dave and our family ...Blessings, Shani

Hi Dave, Shani, Ashlea and Josh,
I really enjoyed getting to spend a day or so with you in June. As Dave said there is nothing I can do or he can do so we might just as well enjoy hanging together and that I did. I especially enjoyed pulling the boat in and out of the water. (smile)We continue to pray for all of you and am hoping we get to see you again soon. Dave, I have mixed feelings about your fall and hitting your head. I feel bad for you that it happened but the upside is that of all the places you could have injured your head was the most likely to suffer the least damage. (smile) I'm sure I owed you that one!
Wende and I love you all and continue to think about you often.

Hi Dave and Shani,
Haven't seen anything here in a while but continue to pray daily for comfort and strength for all of you. Much love, Flo and Bruce
