Packed and Ready to go
July 20th, 2008
Today is Sunday and we went on our last sight seeing tour of the city. It was nice and slow paced. I think today was the first time I actually realized we are about to leave. I know it in my head, but I try not to think about it often–it makes me kinda sad. But today I have just laughed and laughed. I get all giggly feeling inside knowing it is time to come home.
Our plan was to pack tomorrow, but I came in and started straightening things up some and one thing lead to another and we are now fully packed! We have weighed each bag and we are under weight. Everything seems to fit–we will just have to cram in the last minute stuff we are wearing and using tomorrow.
Jeff will have therapy tomorrow. He said he has had over 300 needles stuck in him this month. He has lots of little bruises. I am going to continue the acupuncture at home with sewing needles–he has the spots on his legs. I just have to stick them in the same spots–I’ve seen it done a bunch of times. I am thinking–how hard can it be??? Seriously, I have talked to my dad and he is going to help us build some equipment for Jeff to continue his therapy at the house. Hopefully we can get it built quickly, so he does not miss too many days.
During physical therapy tomorrow I am going to video again the “after therapy” I am not sure how impressive it will be–the stuff he is getting now is more fine motor skills and not quite as dramatic as the last video. We may have to show him doing different things in the video to appreciate the changes he has had lately. We can not be more happy with the progress he has made!

Hi Lelise, Jeff and David,
I have been meaning to write to you and let you know that we are home safe. The jet-lag has been brutal!! It was much easier going there. Austin and I are still really messed up with our sleep and we have been home for one week:)
I’m sorry to read about Jeff’s headaches but glad all went well with the stem cells. Please send me your updates in the future.
It was great getting to know you all. Take care and hope your flight goes well and hope your jetlag isn’t too bad!
Take care. Jenny and Austin
