DAY 250-THANKSGIVING

We brought Karson home for a couple of hours today. He was so excited when I walked in the room this morning to bring him home. The first hour he was here was fine and he was comfortable but then his back starts hurting him while in his wheel chair so the next hour was uncomfortable for him. He got very tired and wanted to get back in his air bed at the Provo Rehab. We were so grateful that we got to bring him home for that short of time and I know that he really enjoyed being home. His birthday is this Tuesday and we are going to have him home from 12:00 noon until 2:00 p.m. if he can be here that long without hurting too bad. I will have cupcakes and would love to have you come and spend a few minutes with Karson if you would like. You are always welcome to visit him at the Provo Rehad also. He is a little more comfortable there in his air bed. Karson didn't have an appointment this week because of Thanksgiving but we are going up next Friday to increase his baclofen pump. I am looking forward to working with the speech therapist which gets back on Monday. I feel that she can get him where he needs to be to get up to the U of U. I am grateful for all of your love, care and concern that you have given Karson and our family. Thank you ALL so very much.

  8. Dearest Grandson Karson,
    Just think, we have had the privilege to have you in our family for a quarter of a century.... and you have brought us many wonderful memories. We especially remember what a sweet little boy you were....how cute you talked and acted and the funny things that you would do and say. As a teenager, you were the delight of our hearts and so handsome with your beautiful blue eyes and curly hair. Then, as a young man, you surprised us with all you managed to do with your life as a young businessman. We have always been so proud of you even with all the problems you have had to face. All we want is for you to get better and come back to us so that we can love and nurture you. Happy Birthday to the most precious kid on the block.
    Love forever and always from Grandpa Doug and Grandma Mona. XOXOXOXOXO
