The high point of the morning was definitely seeing a rainbow on my way to work. It was a full arch, and it made me feel happy and hopeful, and I noticed that. This little exercise is definitely getting me more in touch with my emotions.

Colleen is now getting two PT sessions per day. It's tiring, but she's making progress -- she's going to try standing up to get into the wheelchair. Took off early from work for her care conference; we should be able to get visits from a PT a couple of times/week once she's home, as well.

The high point of the day was the evening visit -- Colleen was delighted to see both her kids, and happily stunned when I told her about her present from pocketnaomi and her family. That was fun to watch. I'm enjoying things more these days.

Okay, clearly I missed this somewhere...

What /is/ the present from the BGM family?

You haven't missed anything; I haven't mentioned it because it had to be a surprise. Dinner at the Herb Farm.

Good - it's working! ;-D

And I'm glad to hear that Colleen is improving steadily.
