I ran into my old neighbor the other day and he asked about the blog. I hadn't realized how long it had been since I had posted. Well, to fill you in...Nick's been going to therapy and he has a new extension for his walker. This enables him to walk alone. We still need to stay close by in case he loses his balance, but he is doing well. Eric has taken him hunting, with the help of Clint and some friends. He absolutely loves it out there but takes too many risks. I had a talk with him last night about listening to us when we tell him not to do something. I only hope it sunk in. In November Meagan and Chris got married and Nick was a groomsman. He was able to stand with his walker for the ceremony(see above). We received the Dynavox but he is still resistant. I told him that maybe if he used it, people might visit more often because he could communicate with them. He was very depressed for the holidays because no one (NOT ONE PERSON) came to visit him. Hopefully this post will reach those who may have been thinking about coming but were hesitant. Nick really needs you. If you were in his place, you would want to know that someone cared.

Thanks for checking in,
Sondra
