September 12, 2008: No words
There is a lot to update everyone on. But today our dear friend Dave passed away after a valiant and courageous fight against cancer. He was a light and this world just got darker.
Godspeed, Dave.

Gustav and Bristol have nothing on Haley, who, without fanfare, walked from the window by the front door over to the living room. We all watched. Schneider tried hard not to make too big of a deal of it as she watched Haley from inside the dining room, lest she knock Haley over with her enthusiasm. Haley did it a couple more of those solo walks, and it was as monumental as Neil’s and Michael’s respective moonwalks. She has yet to repeat, but. she’s getting there! The trampoline is doing her wonders, mostly giving her confidence on her legs.
Eating is the same. I bought veggie bacon, but she would have none of it.
It’s entirely possible that she has a mild allergic reaction to soy, which of course would be terrible, since that’s the mainstay of her diet at the moment, and what goes into her feeding tube.
Labor weekend was a little sad as Haley was unable to participate in the water activities of the weekend. But she got extra long bathtime, so she can splash as much as she’d like.
We have a slew of appointments in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I owe you all latest pictures. to come, I promise.
Hugs, kisses, and all the sunshine in the world to Dave. Welcome home. We’ve missed you.
