Geeeeez- look what happens when mum steps out -we got a hornet's nest stirred up! Judith is always full of mischief- we once had a water fight that started in my yard and quickly moved into the house (the water source) and ended with Judith pouring pitcher's full of water over my head! Never mind that the builder had just left at five with newly sanded floors and precautionary words... " whatever you do, keep water off the floor". Those few buckled boards are my favorites in the house.
Today I walked into Caleb's room - he was dressed in a new contraption which zips up the back and ties him into bed.. seems the boy decided he could get out of bed last night (Max and Kai called this one) and he ended up sitting on the floor till the nurse discovered him. When I asked him this morn if he was trying to get to the bathroom he shook his head no and said - "town hall"! Well now - do we think the prayer circles are working? He has moments of clarity like this and it is so reassuring.
Next week we are cleared for outdoor recreation - so the Lebster and I will be rowing on the Charles with the rest of the crew. I can visualize more water fights in our near future!
On the flip side ( seems there is always one) Caleb has been vomiting after each meal and that points to signs of Gallbladder stress..perhaps another trip to MGH for yet another surgery...we find out tomorrow. I just spoke to his doc who is an acupuncturist as well as a traditional practitioner and I gave him the OK to work his magic with Caleb to see if we can get his energy flowing in a less invasive, medical way.
There is a friend who lives down the road from us who is now confined to a wheel chair. She was always a very vibrant woman, but somehow she is more vibrant since her disease has caused her this immobility. She pauses to hear the birds, she loves her flowers and she has kind, encouraging words for all who pass through her door. When I am low, I think about her and try to focus on all the good. Caleb and I sat outside this morn and with our eyes closed, hands locked, imagining that we were once again on the beach of Costa, side by side, sun on our faces, birds in the trees, warm sand on our feet. Just together as we are now. As we returned we passes a wagon with 3 little boys and I said a mother's silent prayer.. God bless you and keep you safe.
I am so appreciative of the guest blogger spots which allowed me a bit of time to step away and concentrate on Caleb. It backfired in a way and I became seriously depressed. Perhaps too much time to think too many thoughts. This is a necessary step along this healing path and thank God for Kai and Max and my dear friend Donald who walked me through. At times you just want a giant bottle of white out to dab on the mistakes so you can start over with the way it was meant to be.
I am on the mend and Caleb is doing fine! Love, mumsie

Hey Sharyn(So tempted to say"Old Lady" because of Judi),
He is such a trouble maker, huh? Hahahaha, you had to have expected that one though. Mischief is what he lives for...What he thrives on! I could have smacked him too, for posting that picture of Caleb and I...Hehehe...What a night! But Chris did say it right this morning when he talked to me about all the contraversy..."That is the TRUE Lad...How he REALLY is...A fun-living REAL PERSON". And, Chris is right, I guess. Those pictures depict Caleb as he is...All about his friends and all about fun. I think that Chris did a GREAT JOB.
Love Ya Mums, and happy to hear that Caleb and yourself made it outdoors. :)

Welcome back, we are still with you. Ali Manchester Uk
Hehe... Caleb is restless! I couldn't help but laugh picturing him on the floor.. "town hall" he wants his bills, and all the rest who are constantly praying for him. It seems his mischievous Gemini Twin is taking over, causing some laughter for us, concern for few, and a rebellious kick for him!! Soon come lad!! Sharyn, thanks once again for your words, you are a mighty strong lass.. I am glad you can step back, reflect and keep Caleb in good attentive care! My favorite type of water fight with you is water ballon drive-by's for the boys on the old benches! Xo..always.
Good to have you back Sharyn! Sky, Jennie and Judith did a great job but there is nothing like hearing your voice, which comes through your words in such a thoughtful and compassionate way.
Thank you for honestly sharing so much of your life - the good and the bad. It helps us all to look a little deeper and discover what is really true. I'm sure many bloggers like myself wish there was more we could do to show you our love and support, to help you find the strength you need when things get difficult.
Hold on to that answer of Caleb's, "town hall." Thats where we all want to see him again - and soon!
A mother's prayer for you, my friend - may you be peaceful and happy, may you be healthy and strong, may you be free from all suffering, and may all the love and light you put out into the universe come back to you one-hundred fold.
With lovingkindness to you and Caleb and all of your loved ones,
Joan
Hi Sharyn,
As Ali just said--we are still with you. You have been so strong, and collectively we are sending you and Caleb love and strength for the time ahead.
DD
Sharyn, as another mom of all boys, I have 4 who are now all strapping young men -33 yr to 21 yr.- I continue reading this blog every day and being inspired by your constant ability to roll with the punches. My #2 son lives near Wellfleet now and I am thrilled that he has become a member of such a caring and supportive community. It blows me away. I consider him very lucky to be with Rosie and to have fallen into your collective laps.
Greg McGrath's mom in Florida
Sharyn, amidst all of your selflessness and unwavering focus on Caleb, for which we all hold you in the highest admiration, you mustn't lose sight of the fact that you need to be kind to *yourself* as well. If there's a social worker type of person available there at Spaulding, don't be too shy (OK, I think I know that won't be a problem) or too proud to avail yourself of those services. If you were able to take a truly objective giant step back from all this, you'd see clearly that you all (including you, personally) have been in an extended crisis mode for a long time now. That is bound to take its toll on even the strongest among us. Nobody can sprint an entire marathon. So, share your burden whenever you can, by whatever means may be available... talk things out - I know that sounds hokey but it really can help; especially if the person you're talking with has experience or training to assist in dealing with the types of issues you're facing. Remember that we are all here for you as well.
My unsolicited 2 cents worth for today... wishing you peace, as always,
Jerry G
Welcome back Sharyn.
If not for mistakes, this extended family you've brought together would never have known about
your wonderful family and all the heartfelt thoughts you share with us. (and I'd be actually working now, not checking on Caleb!)
It's so evident in everything we read about Caleb that you've done well, mistakes and all, at raising
a great group of boys.
Mom to Mumsie, you're an inspiration!
Reading Caleb's response "Town Hall" made me erupt in laughter which soon turned to tears. Life is raw. in all ways.
love you guys
Sharyn, It's true that things are out of sprint mode now and into long slow distance, and all this is catching up with you. It's easy for us to sit here in Wellfleet or around the world and participate vicariously through the blog, but I wonder if it isn't more of a burden than necessary at this time. Having to produce written material regularly is more stressful than people think. If it would be better for you to keep the posts somewhat more spread apart, then we would more than understand. All this is not for us. Spaulding is no ICU but it's not restful either and you may need a bit of a vacation. Caleb is a big boy and will understand. Maybe we should all spin down a little while remaining mindful of all of you. Jack
Jerry G is correct Sharyn, reach out to a third party at the hospital to talk to once in a while.
Your body and mind have been going, going, going, since the 4th of July. You havent'had one minute to breath. When Leb is home in Wellfleet and doing so much better, it will all hit you like a ton of bricks. Get it out now when you can so the transition will be that much easier.
Coming home for a visit is an option, but that still won't give you much down time.
Take care of you first (which is impossible for a mother), but it will benefit all if you do.
Peace and Love from Woods Hole!

Hello Sharyn - I had to laugh about that contraption that zips up the back. When Peter's dad, was in the hospital once, active person that he was even at 79, he managed to get out of his. He also landed on the floor. It may have been the naked lady standing in the doorway that did it. There's always something to laugh about, after the fact. Having a lengthy stay in the hospital once, I can understand wanting to GET OUT! Keep smiling that beautiful smile. Think of you and Caleb daily. Hugs - XXOO Natale
A WELLFLEET DREAM.....
FOR CALEB FROM NATALE
DREAM! DREAM THAT THE OCEAN BREEZES CAST SWEET SALTY AIR OVER THE DUNES AND ACROSS YOUR SHOULDERS AND THE GENTLE AIR IS FILTERING THROUGH THE WHISPERING PINES. AND LIKE A MAIZE, THE WINDING ROADS FROM THE MAINLAND THAT TWIST AND TURN ARE BECKONING YOU TO COME BACK SOON TO OUR LOVELY TOWN OF WELLFLEET.
Dear Mumsie
You said in your most recent post that the guest blogger idea "backfired in a way" and that you were depressed by that. I would suggest that you see it in another way:
This blog is read by people from all over the world, people from 16 to 60 plus, people close to you and people who don't even know you except from this blog's words and pictures. You have been saying all along that you can't control things even if you want to - what happens in this life, or what people say, do, or think. People are always going to say hurtful, thoughtless things - and ALSO the cyber-word is easily misinterpreted. So let it go. You have been a great model for all of us all summer long, talking honestly about letting go and living life in a loving, kind way. Stay strong - and don't take on other people's negativity. Judith's blog was wonderful. Those of us who don't know all of you personally saw more details, in words and pictures, of a side of Caleb and his friends - a loving, fun, boyish side - and we learned more about his life. That was great, and I for one am grateful for the generosity all of you have shown in sharing your lives with those of us who lurk out here in cyberspace. Stay strong - live mindfully. You are kind, and very loved.
WELLFLEET - Members of the Cape Cod Stranding Network are on their way to Wellfleet Harbor to stop a pod of 100 Atlantic white-sided dolphins from stranding at high tide.
The network planned to use Zodiac boats and kayaks to head off the marine mammals.
The tide is due to be high at 1 p.m., said a network spokeswoman, and is particularly high because of the full moon.
"to town hall!!!!"
this will be my new mantra for when I need to muster up some more determination!
Sharyn, I do hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable coming from a 'stranger', but I feel the need to say that I positively adore you for saying: "Those few buckled boards are my favorites in the house". (and for countless other reasons)
I hope many things happen today that make you all smile!
Shifting from the intense crisis mode you have been in, to this somewhat less intense but still stressful one, is bound to leave you feeling strangely uprooted. One gets used to the hubbub and it protect in a way from some of the intensity of feelings. Change is in the air. As others have said, be as good to yourself as you can. Keep those deep breathes coming...and remember to exhale! One day at a time. You and Caleb will get there. He is so blessed to have this wonderfully wise and strong mother. As you are to have him. Love to you both!
no- no- no again my words are misinterpreted - I meant that it backfired because I missed blogging so much - it has become a way of spewing out things which need to be let out---you have to remember that I live in a cubicle with Caleb from 7 am till late night with only the quickly passing by staff to speak with...I missed blogging!
Dearest Sharyn. We are all a little more worried about you these days than Caleb. Know that he is in good hands and PLEASE take a little time off. Go eat with a friend, get coffee and sit outside and enjoy these beautiful days. This day is a gift, and you are part of that. Caleb knows you love him and that you haven't left his side. He too wants you to be the happy woman he's been calling "mom" for the past 25 years! Please take some time for yourself, and take a B vitamin. That should help a little.
A quick question about Caleb's health: What is he eating? He was on a "fast" for 10 weeks (pretty impressive compared to our 10 days) and now hes eating again. That is hard on digestion and could be part of the problem. Theres this stuff by Herbpharm called Stonebreaker, good for gallstones. Should I send some up with Jennie or Jan? My fingers are crossed that Caleb will pull through this without another surgury! Caleb, eat smaller meals, perhaps overeating and eating too fast is causing some backup. YOU ARE LOVED!!!! (U 2 Sharyn!)

hey crazy lady,
you forgot the part about how you started that water fight and caleb stopped it. ha ha Good to here he is on the move. Maybe if we get lucky maybe he'll make to the bus and hitch a ride to wellfleet. Thanks again.
much love
judith
sounds like things are looking up. keep the faith, all.
ps. where are those pics jennie promised us??? please :)
Phew, you missed us!!! Thank goodness because as much as we love and want to hear from the guest (pictures help too) we miss you like crazy!!
Don't get frustrated, whenever we misread what you write, you can just jump on and yell at us.
We love, love, love hearing from you. Hope you get some sunshine on your face today! Hell, start a water fight at the hospital, I'm sure some of them need to lighten up as well.
J
Sharyn, Again your blog has me crying at my desk at work. Tears of joy that Caleb is continuing to improve, tears from being touched by your simple prayer, tears of aw at the courage you continue to show and tears of joy for my children. You don't know me (Becky from Deerfield Beach, Florida), but I have blogged you before that since I've been following your family's story I have daily grown in appreciation for my children. I've even started working less hours so I can get them earlier from school! I've started hugging more, tighter and longer. I take classes at a local gym from my friend that is from Wellfleet and was the one to tell me about Caleb. We almost daily ask if the other had read the latest etc. She described Wellfleet to me a month or so ago almost to a "T" how Sky did in her guest blog. You all are SOOO lucky to have such a SPECIAL community. I grew up an Air Force brat moving every 3 to 4 years - no time for roots like you all have! How lucky you all are! I'm rambling here, but know that your family are DAILY in my prayers! I'm hoping to get up your way next summer and hopefully know that I'm at LEAST in the same town as Caleb, as I'm sure he is gonna be busy busy busy when he gets back! Hang in there! If I could give you strength, sleep, extra tears, lipstick or white out I would in a heart beat! Becky P.S. That fresh air has got to do WONDERS for Caleb! He sounds like he's an outdoors kind of guy! Breath deep!
Judith, Sharyn ALWAYS starts the wars!! She is a little troublemaker..j.k. Sharyn, sorta. Sharyn I don't really worry much about you, with you staying by Caleb's side he is stronger, you inspire him unlike anyone else, and as someone who loves Caleb like a brother, I appreciate that beyond words. You have always made healthy choices, and I trust you know what's best for him, along with yourself. I don't really blame you for not wanting to leave his side- I most likely wouldn't either. But as always do take care of yourself while Caleb is down & resting... you deserve so much, I just wish I could hand deliver it all to you.
Love you so much. Xo..
the battery on my computer was recalled last year...i never took care of it so i'm still using it.
although i love it... when not plugged in,the charge runs down from 100% to reserve in a flash...about 15 minutes...when there is no more juice the screen *BLIPS* off...no can do...can not use...nothing left...no good...useless.
this scenario sharyn...reminds me of you right now.
when i read your words i am a worried momma, or maja as dakota calls me.
1 bath every 3 weeks for rejuvination is not enough. how can we help? so many offers over cyberspace but what's the salve?
a healed up son, obviously, but until then you need some serious TLC mumsie.
is there someone there @ spaulding that can do some body work on you? there must be traveling therapists available in beantown???
how about the accupuncturist...you could get a jolt from him...
i guess this is the LOOOOONG slow road.
prayer circles now need to focus as much on you as caleb.
you are loved.xoxoxooxoxo
deirdre
Sharyn,
We missed you!

Where are the pics Judith promised?
Hi Sharyn,
Great to "see" you back on the blog. I can't imagine how difficult these past several months have been for you and your family. It must come through in waves - the reality of it all - and as it does, each of you ride it out as best you can. Hold on to each other. Give each other space. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale again. Now really exhale.
Lesa
i knew when that person posted about the "backfire" that THEY had misinterpreted what you were saying!
pretty funny.
no- no- no again my words are misinterpreted - I meant that it backfired because I missed blogging so much - .... Sharyn,I knew that is what you meant, and I thought you said it clearly. I understand how you feel totally, this blog IS therapy for you and a way to get stuff out of your angsting body and mind. I would not want to leave my son until I knew absolutely that he would not be found on the floor in the middle of the night! The angst being away can be even stronger than when you are with him...
"Town Hall"
Sweet Power of creating a smile.
Lovely Sharyn--
It's wonderful to see you (read you?) back on the blog. I'm so glad that Caleb's been cleared for the great outdoors--the Charles is absolutely gorgeous these days, with the wind and sun and warmth. I wandered over there and got completely lost the other day, but it was so beautiful that I didn't mind at all.
But as has been said, you are every bit as spectacular as the rest of your splendid family, and therefore you've got to take care of yourself! If there's absolutely anything anyone can do, please let us know. Bubble bath? Chocolate meese? The vodka the girls in my dorm have stashed under their mattresses?
We've got you covered, lovely Sharyn. And please do, if you would, post about when the Lebster is cleared for visits.
Even if the doctors want him only with family for now, you deserve cheering up too--so don't think you can keep us away forever!
Love,
Mia
We're still wearing our pirate shirts here in NYC!
Forgiveness with yourself and to others is what absolves any and all mistakes, if ever there has been one. How are the hives?
love kolleen
Billingsgate boys buckle boards. (Ask Leb to say that one twice in a row.)
To Town Hall! Arrrrrrghhhhhhh.

dear sharyn,
shoulda, coulda, woulda, next... one day at a time, don't look back. love trumps all....
truro mom
Sharyn and Caleb, I worked in rehab many years. Falling is a matter of course when the mind knows what it wants, "town hall" and the body is not able to complete the task. These facilities worry about you getting hurt and will go to all lengths to show they are : alarms and such I know you have encountered, pads on floors, low beds, restraints, etc. This is all part of the game, Caleb and I'm thrilled to hear you're getting outside. Sharyn, make a careplan for yourself, massage, acupuncture, friends visits, etc. Scheduale in these activities just like Caleb has therapy. If you want help finding the right people let us know. Taking care of yourself will make you all stronger. Stress leads to health problems down the road when you'ld rather be dancing. Since life has offered the stress- you get to focus on de-stress.Glad to hear about the acupuncturist. ann
From another stranger who occasionally comments, but mostly just logs on every day to reconnect......I have to say I got a kick out of the "comments controversy" only because it is so apparent that Caleb and his family/friends are who they are because of ALL of life's experiences they've been through...Why would they want this blog to be all "fake and shiny" to impress anyone not from Fleet? It is the very ESSENCE and SPIRIT of these folks that inspires us, not some preconceived notion of what and who they are. Rock on Sharyn and guest bloggers, and I hope you all continue to share without some filter in the back of your mind. Thanks again for letting us in to your world. We all continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayers for steady recovery and renewal.
South Shore Mom
Glad to have you back! Sky, Jennie and Judith did a great job sharing their thoughts and stories.
That is so Caleb to get up and head to Town Hall. I guess all that healing energy from the circles is calling Lebs name. We all want to see him back there almost as much as I know he wants to be there. Sending thoughts of love and healing out to you and the boy.
Love,
Kim
Hey Sharyn,
I saw Caleb on Town Hall lawn last night! What was he doing in town? Ha! Ha! fooled ya! Ya right! That's Caleb! I loved that part of your post today!
Sharyn, if you do go rowing on the Charles River, do the Boston Police a favor, DON'T WEAR YOUR BATHING SUIT! At least not during rush hour traffic anyway. They'll be pulling tractor trailers out of the Charles River until Christmas!
Having lived 4 days in the hospital with my own son this last spring, I can barely begin to know your excruciating schedule and loneliness and depression that sets in. There are not enough feathers to put in your cap without causing an endangered specie for all the good your doing Caleb and the many, many readers here. Feel mighty good about that! As for blog text taken the wrong way, people figure it out. Spoken word is as misunderstood also! Why do people only pay a penny for someone’s thoughts, but then have to put their two cents in? Easy to say but try not to sweat the small stuff.
Kevin
Sharon, Once again you bring tears to my eyes. You write so eloquently, I am touched in a deep way. Thank you for sharing. Love, Another Welfleet Mom
Sharyn,
good to have you back, but so nice to get posts from the crew.
someday I,d love to share a bottle of wine(or 2} with you and tell you all the issues that caleb's accident, your family and community and you personally have brought up in me.
It seems many of us strangers, (many moms and dads" have adopted Caleb in to our hearts.....I find myself often saying "he could be my kid" when telling friends about your blogg.
You are living through most of our greatest fears,....something horrible and unexpected happening to one of our children. Through you we live these fears, these hopes and test our faith....all the time praying for this boy/man named Caleb Potter.We celebrate each baby step in his recovery and stress in each stumble......It seems selfish sometimes, but it is Human.It is the thing that most fairy tales, myths and sacred texts are full of....human will prevailing.
someone said it in another post, but I too have fallen in love with you, your family and especially Caleb.
......on a lighter note,
I am sending a package your way....fun stuff for you and Caleb...
in the meantime.....whether you like it or not, whether it sometimes feels like a burden or a gift....there are many of us out here who don't even know you, that just want to be by your side.
It is in a mother's nature to be (overly) protective and to jump to the defense of her child. And in this village that has been created around Caleb's injury and recovery, we have all felt the strain of these past few months.....all of the Moms in a close knit village look after all of the kids, and bristle at the least hint (however well intentioned) of criticism. There is no such thing as a completely rational Mom. 'Nuff said....
Acupuncture works, would be great for both of you. Sounds like Caleb is determined to get moving one way or the other...he shares your strength of will, obviously. Any time spent out doors is excellent therapy also for both of you. Get out by the water,and breathe deep. All will be well and is just as it was meant to be, Caleb healing, you coping, the rest of us praying and hoping.
Sending you both strength and hope, as always,
peg from PA
Hey Sharyn!
I was just dancing around my apartment and drinking wine. I loved dancing around your strobe- lighted kitchen with you and Sky and lots of awesome ladies at that party a while back. I can't wait to hang out with you again. I bought big fatty wine glasses like yours (but polka-dotted, they were on sale) and they always remind me of nice relaxing times talking to you.
Tell Caleb I say he is brilliant and I love him. Tell Kai and Max that too. Love, Katie
first of all,caleb "town hall" will be here for you,don't push to hard now or you might leave something behind and just have to go back to boston and pick it up.hope to see you soon and i luv you.jennie,judith,jodi,kevin,sky,and all new and old bloggers remember to say what you feel,and more importantly,what you know and believe.you would deny us of what is truly important,what caleb is!he is more than can be described in words,but it helps us all so much to listen to your luv with the lad.sharyn,you are the strongest,kindest person i have ever met.you have allways shared your life with anyone who needed a friend,and now you share yourself and your son with all the friends you have ever met,in person or on the blog.i will never forget that or realize how powerful it is.i hope you get enough rest to make another day,but don't forget that we couldn't do what you do.he is your son,and he is your being,you are joined,and will always be beautiful.thanx for you.i luv you.peace.
second of all,everyone needs to take a chill pill!we all take critisism everyday,being said there was no intention from the anonymous blogger to insult!look at ourselves,look at those we luv and share to the world,sharyn has repeatedly talked about allowing people(her boys)to fill thier hearts with luv and decide thier own lives!should it not be for us all?fleet moms i luv you butter anger and ridicule is not what this blog,us,or caleb is about!its about caleb,us,and being a fellow human and sharing yourself(right or wrong)sorry about the length of this but i feel people got caught up in a petty situation that really meant nothing.caleb see you soon.
scro
p.s. judith sharon is spelled with a y,as in sharyn.i hope that didn't crush your fragile little soul or ruin your work week.we all could use a little critism once in awhile.i said alittle,okay,so don't get on my grammar please.we all say or do things we regret or wish never happened,lets not live or die by simple mistakes.scro
Dear Sharyn, Maybe it is just a stomach bug. I had one last week and I caught it in the Fleet? Anyway the Doc's will know. Good for Caleb trying to walk to town hall. Bet he knows the way, too. I was reading up about brain injury/trauma and it was really encouraging. He is already talking and writing and getting out of bed, all good stuff. One reaccurring theme in alot of the stories was that prayer worked. Love, Susanna
Take it easy on yourself there - you have been through hell and are still there to a large degree. One day at a time and YES - allow yourself to be depressed - this has and is still depressing for you not to mention how utterly exhausted you must be. Try to take a little time out for yourself each day and dole out the blog to guest writers more often and take some pressure off. Again, I love you even though I don't know you. You are in my thoughts (and prayers) always.
Mom in CT
Right on Scro... this is no place to judge, or freak out over petty stuff.. you said it good there lad.
You guys are all awesome! As I read this blog daily I can't help but want to move to Wellfleet to live near you guys! Good people, good families, good friends and a great town! It is so nice to see that with all the bad people in the world, there are still so many good ones!
Caleb, Keep doing you thing...you'll be back in Wellfleet in no time!
Sharyn, Even though Sky,Jennie and Judith were great...we missed you!
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you!
much love & peace,
tc
so surprised that a couple of the wellfleet 'moms' got "pissed", angry, disturbed, etc....with some of the anonymous remarks......up until now, this has been all about caleb, his situation, his progress, his future, his family, his town support, his incredible friends.....and for the friends to understand and forgive often misinterpreted comments - but their 'moms' not able to do so - is causing the blog to lose the focal point - CALEB - and if his friends choose to write about their relationships/experiences with a passionate, life-loving caleb, then so be it....relax, everyone, put all this energy to better use - send it to caleb.
AF Betafood.......works great....I had gall bladder problems last fall and my chiropractor gave it to me....it's made of mostly ground beets.......basically it thins the bile so the liver and gall bladder can do their job easier....no side effects....take a couple with every meal.
So glad, for the most part, that Caleb continues to improve....it must be so frustrating for him and difficult to witness... him being restrained.....but in places like Spaulding and MGH...."safety never takes a holiday!"
The water story cracked me up....however we all know you are the biggest prankster of them all.......I've never known another person to get so excited about April Fool's Day as you.....I recall one such April when the kids were little... and you were in the old house....I went to the sink ....turned on the water... and got absolutely soaked...you had put a rubber band around the handle of the spray nozzle!!!!!
Hang in there...take care.......love you, jodi
.:Prayers Caleb:.
I am so relieved he is making gains again and I am looking so forward to seeing you both when I return!
All blessings.
Love,
Laura Krikorian (your friend from Spaulding and Cape).
