Cute Kid Story Ahead:
This afternoon, I had to go to the Goodwill/Easter Seals Equipment Rental Facility in St. Paul to pick up a reverse walker that Luke will be bringing home with him for home use. I went during an hour block of Luke's therapy time, hoping to be back by the time therapy was over. It was an hour and five minutes by the time I returned to Gillette to find Luke in the room and a volunteer reading to him. They read about 7 of Luke's "My First Little House" books.....remember Laura Ingalls?? The volunteer was reading fluently, but when she ran into the name, Almanzo, she struggled to pronounce it. In the background, I piped up and said "Al-mon-zo", and during the pause, Luke politely asked her, "Did the "Z" getcha??" Chuckle, chuckle.

After therapy tomorrow (Saturday), Luke will get to go home for the weekend on his last pass. Then back Monday morning for 5 more days of therapy next week. And as Luke has been saying, "Then it's home for good!"
