1/28 Today is Shea's birthday. 33 yrs ago, he and Mom were on there way to the hospital behind a snowplow leading the way that was called out so they could make it to the hospital. This morning, Shea stood in his driveway waiting for me with the plow because he could not get out due the the 2-3 ft drifts in his driveway. This all came to mind with Shea and was somewhat depressing I think. So what birthday gift could bring the biggest smile ( and some tears of joy in this case also)? Read on.....

Shea went to see Mom Wed . afternoon to spend time with her on his birthday. To everyone's shock and "deer in the headlights" look, Mom softly but clearly uttered to Shea, "Happy Birthday"!!!!!!!!!!! When I arrived, she asked if she was going home tonight. When Scott was leaving, she uttered, "I love you". SHE HAS SPEECH CAPABILITY PEOPLE!!!!!! This is huge based on the reports we got in December with the brain damage to the cerebellum area that is responsible for motor skills and speech. Were the doctors wrong? Maybe....probably not though. The cat scan was fairly conclusive and self evident. Is God sovereign? Yes!

I don't think I really need to suggest to everyone how they might want to address the Living God, author of life and all there was, is and will be.
