Wednesday's update

Steve has done well so far this week. He had a bit of trouble Monday morning with his stomach, but has been better since then. Today was his first day totally on his own : ) He texted me today and said that he was ok and everything was on good and right on track! It's funny how good that made me feel. He was able to handle his medicine and his feedings all by himself. His progress really is coming along nicely. He even went outside to enjoy watching his pigeons flying around today. He is tired now and is sleeping a lot but I think he enjoyed himself today.

Steve looks a little different than he did before surgery. I know that he is still healing and that a year from now he will look different still. But for now, I can't help but think how adorable he is. He is so sweet and loving, always worried about everyone else instead of himself.  

Steve is quite agile despite his leg. He is getting up and down the stairs very well. He wanders around the house trying to figure out what to do with himself. His attention span is not very long because of all the medicine he is on, but he is bored. He would love to have visitors, so stop by if you like. He is also using his computer a little bit more if you'd like to email him (stevebowman@bellsouth.net).

Lent starts tomorrow. Have you decided what you will add or take away to remind yourself of the sacrifice Christ made for us on the cross? Will you pray more, do charitable deeds, give up sugar, soda, or coffee? Whatever you decide, do it with grace, humility and love. Have a great evening!

glad to hear you're doing well. Something you might like to fill your time with is facebook. It's very easy and grown-ups are taking it over. At church several of us are on it and then the connections with folks like stephanie and tim newton, rob and sherry and others you don't often see is fantastic. Recently a lot of my high school classmates have joined and we are having a blast. You can see pics of each others families and talk to people who you haven't talked to (or sometimes even thought of) since graduation. It's pure communication, not a diary like my space or livejournal. And you don't even have to be your kids friends. I decided when I started it I would not ask Lizzy or any of her friends so as to not feel like I was forcing myself on her. But the college kids love adult friends and would so enjoy talking to you. Plus you get to see what is going on in their lives - melissa howell, robert and ryan, brandon, josh mclaurin - they'd love to communicate with you. setting up an account is very easy. just go to facebook.com and it's simple. Hope to be your facebook friend soon!
