Yes.....Three years ago today, our lives changed forever. If we celebrate it like an anniversary, it would be because God is good & Gary lives, and shows healing is possible everyday since.

I plan to keep this post short as we are in the process of more change. We recently saw the Neuro Doc, as a follow up to coming off a medicine that is an immune suppressant, and was part of the treatment process for the Vasculitis on the brain. Well, Gary has been weaning off,  and as of April 1st, is completely off. New vitamins and supplements have been introduced and he is doing great.  He will be resuming to do more therapy this summer. We have been faithfully practicing all our exercises and Gary will be ready to take some things to a next level.

In the last Caring Bridge, we shared we would be moving to Green Bay. I was looking for rentals as that is what we do currently, but in the last month we decided we will be looking to buy to make sure we have a home that meets every need for Gary, that is move in ready as possible, & also knowing we will need to make some modifications . So a move in the summer is still a hope for us. I have faith we will find the "just right place".

Now, for a big surprise...... We have mentioned we were planning to do a fundraiser with some of our family and friends to get a mobility van for Gary.  Well. last month I received a call from a friend who was helping us look for a van and who was part of the fundraiser. He  found the perfect van!  It is a 2019  Dodge Caravan Mobility Van that had only 3900 miles on it! Not only that, he chose to gift it to us instead of us doing a fundraiser! Oh my, I still look out the window in the morning to see that it is really in the parking lot, and that I am not dreaming. We pray God bless him and his family abundantly, for their generous giving! The giver's name will remain anonymous to protect their privacy in the matter.

This van promotes so much growth to next steps for Gary. No more costly transports or rentals, and having freedom to come and go is huge. Our first test ride with Gary ended up being a 2 hour scenic drive to favorite lakeshore spots down here in Sheboygan, This last Sunday, with our beautiful weather, we were able to do a picnic at a park with a water view. Gary enjoyed it so much.

We want to extend a very special thank to all of you who follow the journey. Those of you who have prayed and encouraged us (and still do), through calls, texts and visits. Those who have given in kind and monetarily, we appreciate you all and are so grateful.....
