Relay for Life
Well, the Relay went very well on Saturday. The rain was a problem, but otherwise it was a very special event. Paul is having some technical issue uploading some video; so stay tuned - for the video and a more detailed report.
We don't have official word yet, but it appears that Francesca was the top fundraiser for the event. She raised about $2700 and her team, The Caped Crusaders, was the third top fundraising team for the event. They raised about $4700 in total. Way to go!
Thanks to everyone for their contributions. Your dollars will make a difference!
Carson Update
Carson continues to make steady improvement. Until yesterday afternoon, he still seemed very tired and weak. His appetite was virtually non existent and he was sleeping quite a bit.
He's still sleeping a lot, but after nap yesterday, some of that energy returned. He went outside to play and chased bubbles around the court. He even had enough strength to steer his Little Tikes electric car for a lap or two.
The big news though was that yesterday evening he actually asked for something to eat, and then proceeded to eat it. We didn't have to bribe, cajole or threaten this time. I hope it continues this way. He really needs to eat to get back to his old self.

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the fundraiser went well (YEAH Francesca) and Bravo Zulo to Jennifer :-)
we continue to read the blog and boy is it ever a Roller Coaster ride - heck the two days I was w the Carsonmeister I saw the most normal of four year olds - then I get back to Italy and I read the blog and think how can that be.....
we all continue to pray for him (and for y'all) and hope that one day all will be as it was back in June of 2009
Cheers for now,
Alex and Co.
Great job, Francesca! We cheered for you in class yesterday. And what a relief to hear that Carson continues to improve! We pray for a lovely period of calm and routine for all of you.
