After some discussion, it has been determined that we will not continue to update this site. There really has not been much to report of late and progress has slowed. We will update this if there are items of great interest.
Thanks to all who have followed Lois’s progress over the last three years. Your thoughts and prayers have been greatly appreciated.

Lois and all had a good Thanksgiving. We have gone for years to a nice restaurant near us in the city. They do an extensive buffet which we really like. The only year we have missed in close to 10 years was the year of Lois’s stroke. Howard, Lois’s brother, has joined us for the last few years. But sadly the restaurant is closing to allow for development of a high rise, high priced apartment building. We will be seeking out a new place so that the tradition might continue.
Lois has started speech therapy again with an old friend Maggie who was her therapist some time ago. We asked for her when we called to start therapy in hopes that we could get her and we did. She is working with Lois twice a week. At this point the health insurance has approved 12 visits and if Lois shows progress they may approve more. When you sign up for health insurance they tell you that you can have so many visits (40 in Lois’s case) but what they don’t tell you is that from the first one they fight to get it stopped. You have to provide all sorts of reports that prove you are making improvements and if it is deemed not worthy by the health insurance company your treatment is stopped. This is why we have paid for therapy instead of relying on health insurance. A real bummer sometimes.
