June 6

We haven't updated for a few days because there really hasn't been very much new to report. Mike still has not heard from the headache doctor from the Mayo Clinic. He was out of town and we are hoping he will hear from him this coming week. We still don't know if they are going to recommend the botox injections in his skull for the headaches. The good news is, and we believe an answer to so many of your prayers... he has been feeling better this week than he has in a very long time! He has had a really good week and seems so much like his old self! We are so proud of how diligent he has been working out! He works out hard and really pushes himself. Even if he has had a rough night, hasn't slept well or if he has a headache...he works out hard. He is very determined! He has just finished week 3 and we are hoping it has something to do with his feeling better. When the dr. told him exercise can reduce the intensity and frequency of headaches I have to admit I was quite skeptical but if he continues do feel better I will become a fast believer! He and Becka will have one more week to spend with family in NH and Cape Cod then they will return to Ohio. Becka will be tutoring for work this summer and will start right after they return. Mike has been doing work for his father in law's office, which has been a great help to him. Since he is still unable to drive, (has to be seizure free for 6 months), and the work can all be done by phone, he will continue with this over the summer. So all in all...we are so thankful for a good week and for all of you who have been so faithful in expressing your love and concern for them! You've reached out and shown so much support to them, in so many different ways... as a family we are all so appreciative of each of you!
