It has been a good couple of days. I am finding I am able more to concentrate on what is rather than the what was of our lives, and we are making headway into a new place where we all reside more comfortably. Caleb's memory improves by increments, but it improves. He seems to be moving forward in other areas of healing with bigger steps now and I am getting an OT to come into the house to guide us. Till now, we all wanted to baby him (me mostly) and to make certain that we were keeping him healthy enough to just move forward...now we are beginning to see that a push phase is upon us.
Caleb's nurses return once again - for Oysterfest and Cedar's wedding is fast approaching...with Caleb as best man and Kai and Max as groomsmen. All of your fundraising efforts accumulated about $2,300.00 for RHCI - and because of rain we are scheduled to walk on Oct. 4th ( thank you to all) ..... So there is alot to concentrate on and to be happy about.
Kai and I had dreams about Jan last evening which for the first time were comforting rather than disturbing. He is ever present with the boys, I feel.... and watching over them.
I guess you could say that we are doing what all of the rest of you are doing...we are busy filiing in the hyphen between our birth date and deceased date on the tablet that represents a life.
The new Jonson and Johnson baby ad reads " when a baby is born..so is a mother." I just love that!

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 Have vacationed in Wellfleet for about 20 years. We were in town when Caleb had his accident. Only found out about the blog a few months ago. My sister(who lives inTX) read the blog for a whole weekend when I told her about it. You are admired near and far. I'm sorry for what your family has endured, and are enduring because it is a journey. You are an inspiration to a lot of people, whether you know it or not.
Peace to you,
Peggy
Sharyn, Your post has made me day. Even on this rainy dreary day, a post like this can make it feel sunny outside.
Keep moving forward, and Caleb will as well.
Amy from western MA
Sounds like you have reached a very important milestone in your journey, taking a path towards progress and contentment and acceptance. I am happy to get such a good feeling from your voice, a looking ahead with happy anticipation feeling. You encourage me.....
My best to you and yours!
As always, with hope,
peg from PA
Thank you for sharing your days with us . It's nice to know that it can get better with time. Keep healing! love grace
Are you still taking donations?
Thanks for the good news post, Sharyn. It was a ray of sunshine on this gray, rainy day.

Always great to hear a song in your written voice. For a squirrel anxious about crossing the road, the other side seems like it was worth the crossing.
I have a feeling Caleb is ready for that push and we are all in the gallery to cheer him and you all on.
You are definitely filling in more than a hyphen here and certainly not a dash to the finish. A work of art in the making, a story that is long from finished.
great to hear from you as always, especially with such an awesome, optimistic post. you rock the party that rocks the party, Sharyn.
Very nice article in today's Cape Cod times! So glad Kai is taking a trip and feels confident in doing so.
