Saturday October 11, 2008...10:30 am

Ahhhh, we had a relaxing two nights at Devils Lake in Lincoln City!
Rosanna had one request before she moves to Nebraska - to go to the coast! She will not see the ocean for a loooong time! A friend let us stay in their house. Robert was able to go up and down stairs!!! Slowly, holding tight to the rail...and if he forgot anything we ran up and down for him :) We had all kinds of weather - rain, hail, fog, sun. Rosanna, Robby and I actually made it onto the sand, to walk and take some pictures. But it was absolutely freezing!

On this past Wednesday, he did have his first appointment with physical therapy. It was mostly an evaluation. We were able to go to the beach because his appointment with the surgeon on Thursday was rescheduled for Monday. So, on Monday we will learn how the pancreas is healing. It has been 3 weeks since he had his last scan, so we are anxious to get a report and hope that it is shrinking, without any complications. Robert still tires very quickly and is still having trouble getting good sleep. Sometimes this is due to congestion in his throat when he lays down. The muscles in his throat are still quite weak - amazing how long it takes to heal.
Thanks for the continued prayers.

Ho Ho Ho Rosanna.....Ha Ha Ha Hallelujah!!!! We hope you have a safe trip....to Nebraska...Wow that sounds far away as Indiana!!! Boy...Our family seems to be moving far away!!! You'll have to visit Aunt Karen/Uncle Mark, Uncle Roy and Aunt Martha...since Indiana is closer to you than us!!

Keep checking in with your Dad and Mom...to see how he's healing. I'm sure you've all have grown closer during this time...and that it was important for you to be there. Keep us updated on the blog.. I know you'll be doing alot of reading.

Robert keep up your therapy and do something different each day... Glad to hear your getting around better...We hope that you'll be able to get more sleep, maybe the therapy will help you with it.

Love from Mom and Diane
