Over the weekend, Annette and Ed (Holly and my parents), and Honeygal came to visit and pick up Holly and John's pups. John was so happy to see them and we were too! They are going to take the dogs to their home in Boerne, Texas where they will be loved 24/7 and have a doggie door and a yard and can relax and we don't have to worry about getting them walked, etc. We feel so blessed to have been given this gift to keep all three dogs together in a loving and happy environment. This was a hard transition in some ways because Holly is so used to having them around and she will miss them terribly but it will hopefully provide a level of freedom and give her the chance to immerse herself in her work while still being available to John. Holly remains in an extended stay hotel close to John which gives her the opportunity to see him every day. She has great support in that friends are either at her home or watching it closely and luckily, Holly will get home some evenings to get some routine household tasks taken care of.
Lately, John has been awakening on many levels. He sometimes says things we don't understand but if you give him the chance, and you are careful not to take things personally or out of context, he is wise, as always. The goal for him currently is for him to walk unassisted for 100 feet. I have recently been noticing that distance and would encourage you to do the same. I know that consistently we do things in life which we don't notice but I notice 100 feet now and am pretty sure that I will from now on.
