Richard, Kai, Caleb are sitting around discussing erections-you can tell this is an all male room and I am the fly on the wall. So things are a bit more normal and Caleb is actually eating - for the first time- real food...that is if you can consider pureed baby food real. But he gets this satisfied look on his face, and that is enough for me! Jan and Max will arrive tomorrow and this room #28 has taken on a party atmosphere with all his floor nurses checking in on him even tho they are not assigned to his room. As is typical, Caleb has created a scene! He is snoring away now- the sign of a man well fed and we are elated at his continuing progress.
The Doc tells me he is scheduled to go back to Spaulding this next week and as always, I have mixed feelings about this.. but know that it is the necessary move towards improvement for him. He is just so pampered and safe here and once again we have to move into the unknown and push to the next level. We are ready!
I would like to ask all of you who can to take the time to write a letter on behalf of Shaye - Sky included his e-mail on this site. It needs not to be long or clever - just has to be a sentence in favor of not getting sentenced. Just write from the heart as you are all so good at doing. He needs the support and since Caleb is on the mend perhaps you can spend your usual blogging time, writing for Shaye. ...or better yet - do both because I would miss you. This is a worthwhile investment of your time!
So I am off to the Hardware store to buy a diesel toilet plunger - another side effect of an all male crew! Love to you all, mumsie

A BIG Thank You
In this season of giving thanks and celebrating family togetherness, I wish to extend a warm thank you to everyone who has been involved in a myriad of ways with my son, Caleb Potter, and his recovery. On July 4, he was involved in a skateboarding accident in our little hometown of Wellfleet on Cape Cod, that caused him serious injuries. He came home from Spaulding Rehab in Boston just before Thanksgiving. Through the blog we started:

We could not have come so far without this legion of support from all of you, in Wellfleet and beyond. We are sincerely grateful.

Ah, boys discussing their toys....a sure sign of improvement ( or some semblance of normality) if I ever heard one. Forward motion...a.good thing.
peg from PA
Boobs one week,erections the next, this blog has a bit of an arrrrrrrrr rating !!!!!!
Get out the hook!!!! Glad things are back to a manly state with those guys.. how I have missed the normalcy of vulgarity, & pervertedness with them there Potters n' more.. XO...clance
Great news..and as for the food, may I recommend Thanksgiving in a jar....scary but moving forward--isn't that what life is all the time..can't grow unless there is a bit of risk...Being a female, dare I ask what a diesel toilet plunger is...love and prayers from St. Paul, MN
So when you go back to Spaulding don't let them do too much with Lebs. Be conservative. Follow your moms’ instinct and keep a lid on it. You are the one that is really in charge. Don't let anyone else get in front of that. Make everyone wash hands, wear gloves, etc. Keep it clean my Dr. friend says. After all who will be left to deal with any fall out? You.
yay...erections and boobs and snoring and stuff!! I'm beginning to feel a familiar feeling of well-being....As soon as there is farting, I know all will be ok!!! Glad caleb can have some "real food", and that he is feeling more relaxed and comfortable. I miss him. Love to all.....

Not exactly the title I was expecting today...haha...boys will be boys!

wow... criptic or what!?!?
oxoxox me
A pirate captain walks into a bar with his first mate and they sit down at the bar. Now, the pirate captain has been a little down on his luck in the world of women, know what I mean? His first mate notices some lovely piratical wenches across the bar.
"Arr, cap'n, you should go o'er thar and talk to her, ask her to dance, aye?"
The captain replied "Arrrr, but what about me one eye? What if she makes fun of it?"
"Don't worry cap'n," said the first mate. "She only has one leg! She won't say anything with that one peg leg."
Convinced, the captain went over and immediately impressed the lady as pirates will do. He asked her if she'd like to dance.
"Would EYE, Would EYE!" she exclaimed.
"Oh yeah? Well... Peg Leg! Peg Leg!" replied the insulted captain!
What's a horny pirate's worst nightmare?
A sunken chest with no booty!
Now Sharyn. I am sure that hospital has every kind of plunger ever invented. Just pick up the phone and call a janitor and ask him for some soap for those boys mouths.
before this blog becomes too r-rated, what's the medical news today?
Guys sitting around talking of sex or (or at least the equipment)... that is a sure sign that Caleb is on the upswing of recovery. :D
Good news....
Jeff
Diesel toilet plunger? That I'd like to see! Is it a John Deere? Or maybe a Allis Chalmers? Or McCormick? Hahah. A little farm talk there right along with erections! I love it! So nice to have the return of normalcy when the last two months have been out of the ordinary. If anyone can handle "natural" talk, you can, you old farm girl!! So, so, so, so happy and relieved that Caleb is recovering....and eating!! Just eating normal food, even if it is baby food, has got to feel so good. Gotta get some weight put back on the boy!
Love ya much, sweetie,
Sue ( and brood)
