On Thursday Jason passed his road test with his driving instructor and his examiner from the Rehab Centre - one more success in a line of successes! I was so happy for him and so proud. Jason treated the whole thing like "yes, I am happy but I have been driving since I was 17 yrs old so what's the big deal?". He still has no idea how close he was to not being here. That first night in the CCU he was hooked up to more tubes and machines than you will ever see on ER, he was swollen beyond anything I had ever seen, he was not breathing on his own, he had a fever, 5 broken ribs, infected lungs, one punctured.....I list these things but I refuse to go back there. It is only a list in my mind. But on Thursday I started to see more light come in, as I have slowly but surely over the past 10 months (almost). My heart was swollen with pride instead of pain and it felt good. Thanks to all our family and friends who have and still are supporting us and Jacob - it means the world. Tom called because he remembered his test was that day and I could have cried. Audrey cried. Kim shouted with joy. Alma, Denise and Heather hugged him. Dennis was so happy for him. We all celebrate.
Also on Thursday we got eavestroughs installed!! Who knew I could be so happy about eavestroughs? Now central air is next. I am looking at a one and half ton Rudd (R410A), 14 SEER, for $2500. This is my lowest quote but is this a good buy? Does anyone know?
So glad to hear that Jason has his driver`s licence again...hard to believe it is less than a year...I bet you could comment on that, Lisa lol. Uncle Jake sends love.
