A day of normalcy

After a whirlwind week, we settled into a day of normalcy.

Even if it was just for one day it was nice. We played outside did some more homemade therapy (threw bean bags, tossed and kicked balls, did some puzzles and played games).

Connor played a computer game with his dad (a personal favorite of his), and right now he is cracking up watching funniest home videos (another personal favorite). Oh how I love his laugh.

We took a little trip to see his teacher after school today. The students in Miss Horn's class made a beautiful poster for Connor, and he will proudly hang it in his room at the hospital this week.

Connor asked if he could take pictures of his therapy so he can show his friends what "he has been up to" (it sounds like a scrapbook in the making).

Tonight we will be busy packing for our stay, and we're looking forward to the therapy, and meeting new people.

Many people have asked for our address to send cards and well wishes so I wanted to post it here:
Connor Solomon
52988 NW EJ Smith Rd
Scappoose OR 97056


What amazed me today: The kindness and compassion of young children sending kind thoughts to a friend in need.

  1. Missy and Greg,

    Your faith, strength, and Connor's smile and laugh are going to get you all through this! Keep up with the homemade therapy always, laughter has proven to heal!

    It is amazing the compassion children show for one another...I still have the banner from my 5th grade class when I broke my leg! Oh how I love tractor paper banners!

    Keep up the great blog, and thanks for your address!

    Take care, thinking of you always,

    Sam
