Cause for celebration

Tamara is busy preparing for tomorrow evening's birthday dinner. We're going into high gear, cruising at low key. There is one thing that we all agree on: Gilly's 53rd birthday is cause for celebration. The blueberry squares are in the making (but shhh, don't tell him about the home made key lime pie).

Last night's hockey game took a serious turn as soon as Gilly entered the arena. Yaron emphatically scored a goal, and then pointed his stick directly at his father as he glided by, mouthing the words, "That's for you." They won the game, and somehow no one was surprised. Yaron and his team wouldn't have had it any other way. Gilly's spirits soared and he rose to the occasion; He gave them a standing ovation (4 times, I might add). The hockey team and their parents greeted Gilly like a celebrity. It felt great for us all to have Gilly back in town!

Each day, Gilly gets a little stronger and seems less muddled.

We finally received the long awaited CD of Gilly's MRI. Joey's making bootleg CDs as we speak. The plan is to send copies to key people around the world. So many have offered to have 'someone in the know' take a look and offer second, third...opinions. Together we're better, n'est pas? We've got nothing to lose.
