"3 little words can have such an impact"

Post update #2

Tammy Spitzer, Ryne's mom has truely been as I call her an "Angel In Service". Tammi has without a second thought taken it upon herself to make sure that Dar and I stay in touch by cell phone. Each day sometimes twice Tammi finds her way to Dar's room or where ever Dar's chair might be to hold her cell phone up to Dar so that we can talk and stay in touch.

These phone calls have grown to be the highlight of my day. Mind you, these calls are not just laid back conversations, these calls often times and most times turn into breathing excersise for Dar and a continuation of her daily therapies. Keeping Dar on task.

Tonight I got a very cool surprize. Normally when I call, Tammi and I speak for a moment and then Dar gets on the phone. Tonight was different. Instead of hearing Tammi first I heard Dar say very clearly "hi", I could not keep from smiling. When I told Dar that I loved her, with 3 very distinct breathes I heard Dar repeat those 3 same words back. It took her a moment and I have learned to wait for her to get the words out before I speak back. Tammi you have know idea how much these calls mean to me, and you truely are an Angel. Boy am I glad you guys won the "Armchair Quarterback" game. LOL LOL :) :) :). Thank you LB2

Got word today through Kaylinn that on Friday Dar and I will be headed to San Francisco to go back and see Dr. Mark Currey and a speech therapist about Dar's vocal cords. This will be a big event and I hope we will see some relaxation in her vocal cords.

Going to be a busy weekend with family coming and our trip to Marin General on Monday.

Continue reading below and this mornings post will follow, thank you everyone for your prayers and support and Tammi, YOUR A GEM.

God bless,

Dar/Danny
