It has been almost 4 months since I last posted, I apologize as so much has happened.  Most importantly today is Tracy's 50th Birthday & she is doing amazing.  Tracy finished her 12 weeks of outpatient therapy, she will continue w/ some more speech (cognitive) therapy for the next month or so.  Within the next 2 weeks she should be officially released to drive (we have gone out a couple times & she drives perfect - well, I should say as good as she did before).  She is going to transition back to work (THANK YOU Harper's for being unbelievable and giving her this opportunity).  The future is very bright for Tracy & the family.

We visited the neurosurgeon a couple weeks ago (1st time he had seen her since the week of the incident), he was amazed at her recovery.  He indicated that while he had hope everything would go well, he couldn't have imagined she would be in his office communicating 5 months after the surgery.  I can't thank Dr. McCanna enough for the miracle he performed in helping save Tracy's life.  I think back to my conversation on May 6/7 with Dr. McCanna on Tracy's prognosis and hard for me to believe where Tracy is (thank you Keith Lash for being there to help keep me through that conversation).

I won't try to list everyone I need to thank as there is no way I will remember everyone, but thank you to all our family and friends for being there for Tracy, the boys, & me.  From your prayers, to sitting with Tracy in the hospitals & our house, to bringing us food, to taking the boys into your homes, to taking Tracy to lunch, to simply reaching out & texting/emailing/talking to me, for everything.

This past 6 months have seen our family hit many milestones:

1. Tracy being here with us today (most important)
2. I turned 50
3. Tracy & my 25th wedding anniversary
4. Jared started driving (technically a few days before)
5. Kyle became a teenager
6. Tracy & my 30th anniversary of our first date
7. Jared pitched for the varsity baseball team, including in the sectional game
8. Tracy turned 50
9. Kyle made the 7th grade basketball team (just happened this week).
...
Again, Tracy being here with us today (most important)

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart to everyone.  It is amazing how much love Tracy & our family has been shown.
