"A Dedication to Darlene"

July 27,2009

Dar's weekend was very good, alert, on task, and full of personality.

Dar is showing some signs periodically of food residuals in her stomach that cause her a little discomfort at times. We are following this by checking her residuals every four hours and stopping the feeding tube if neccassary for a short period of time. I do not want to start the Reglan again unless it is absolutley a "must". Time will tell.

We spent most of the day on Saturday outside on the front deck with Maverick and other residents and just enjoyed the beautiful day together.

I left very late Saturday night so that I might come home and get a jump start on my continuing mission to find these 2 extra quarters of income credit so that Dar will qualify for Social Security Disability. We spoke twice on the phone on Suday and Dar was again in great spirits and looking forward to my soon return. I might even surprize her one afternoon after work this week. She will be stoked, hope I can pull it off.

Christine and family plan on coming this weekend and Diane plans on returning again the weekend of the 15/16. Dar Will be excited to learn that her sisters are coming again.

Today I will begin looking into what I have hope will be answers to this hurdle. I guess if all else fails I will have to look into "representation", maybe Binder and Binder as seen on TV. I have started looking into and at their website. If you have suggestions please feel free to drop me an email or a comment at the end of each post.

My email address is "cntrydjpro@sbcglobal.net".

This morning on my way to work, listening to the radio a song came on that I had not heard in some time. Again I was reminded of how much Dar means to me, in closing I would like to dedicate this song to her again and thank her for being my friend and my wife.

Have a great day everyone and thank you again for your prayers and support. Dar's home facelift fund is growing slowly and I would like to thank all that have contributed. Than you so much. Dar and I look forward to having a huge "homecoming", and showing you all what you have done to make our lives much easier. Thank you so much.

"Keeper of the Stars" Tracy Byrd

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just cant believe youre in my life
Heavens smilin down on me
As I look at you tonight

I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
Ive got all Ill ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I dont deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude

So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
Ive got all Ill ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew

Love to all, Danny
