What looks like a detour may be a new road to a blessing - Phil 1:12

Week of 9/27
Monday - Walter returns home from Quitman! Mom and I are excited. Mom has a delicious dinner ready for all of us, stir fry. Jillian, Kevin and Vicki stop by to see their buddy that was so missed. Tuesday - Walter has therapy 2-4:30pm. The next couple of days we work on getting back into our routine at home.
Wednesday - Walter has therapy 2-4:30pm. Dana Sepela from Valdosta passes through Atlanta and stops to visit with us for a couple hours. She bakes Walter lots of brownies and he loves it. His grin is as wide as the grand canyon tonight. They are all for him except for 2 corners that seemed to disappear mysteriously (mom ;) )
Thursday - Therapy again 2-4:30pm. The therapists tell us that Walter is reaching a plateau (which is very common) and they will be cutting his therapy sessions back to 1-2 times a week. On his days off at home mom and I will still continue to do all his therapies (speech, physical & occupational) with him. We are all a little nervous about it but have to keep in mind that the therapists are the experts. So we are going to make the best of it and beleive this new schedule may have something in store for us later.
Friday - After Jessica got off from work we (Bobby,Brenda & Walter) head to Greenville, SC for the weekend. Bobby was able to come up the night before. We are thrilled to spend a fun weekend with a lot of Walter's college friends. Traffic was not th greatest of course getting out of Atlanta. We eat M&M's to stay content (one of Walter's favorite traveling snacks, the other is funyuns). We will be visiting with Dan and Keli Jo (Walter went to Carson Newman with them). It is Keli Jo's surprise birthday party. We arrive around 7pm. Dan never told KJ we were coming. She had no idea what the surprise was and probably never would have guessed it. The last time we saw them was in February for Walter's birthday. We all went to the cabin in Blue Ridge. Eric and Daniel are excited to see us. My dad had a blast with their boys, they played lots of ping pong. We all hang out tonight and eat pizza.
Saturday - We have a bbq picnic at Furman University (this was their homecoming weekend). We walk around the lake and take a couple pictures. Below is one of Walter and I near the big clock on the peninsula. All the guys head home to prepare dinner for the surprise party that Keli Jo has no clue about as well. I take her shopping and try to keep her away as long as possible....there are only so many stores one can go to when you have seen it all. There was a couple cloase calls where we almost came back. Dan you did a grea job!

If you know Walter very well you know he does not like photos. So it's a big deal for him to tell me it is ok to post this picture. He still has those gorgeous teeth and sexy legs! (he didn't say I could say that...shhhh!)
