The Everyday Project Day 204

The sad news is that Cara's Ranger's team lost in the TOC game tonight. It was a tough game and Cara played really well at 3rd base and hit the ball right to the fence.

Tomorrow is the picnic, awards ceremony and elections. Will I be elected for 1 more year??? I gave the nominations to the secretary to call. I was not nominated although I did nominate 2 people for the job. If people want me, they will have to write my name down.

Shhh, here's a secret: Scott is getting Volunteer of the Year and he doesn't know it. I nominated him and the board voted. It was a tie between him and our field manager. They both do an incredible amount of work and both deserve it. I'm the Prez so I am giving it to both.

5.I am nominating Eric Christian as volunteer of the year. He is main reason our fields look better than they have in years. Eric can be found working on the fields before games, after games and on weekends with his family. He has spent countless dollars of his own money to hire his work crew and “borrow” equipment. Without Eric, our fields would still be weed infested, dry, dusty mess. And he always is emptying the trash cans.

6.I am nominating Scott MacNaughton as volunteer of the year. Scott spends countless hours behind the scenes, organizing paperwork, making schedules and working on the computer in addition to assistant coaching 2 teams, scorekeeping, cutting grass, spreading weed killer and emptying trash cans. Scott loves MMWLL more than anyone I know and works his hardest to make it a success.

It is what it is...
Namaste

Update on Sean: Written Jun 6, 2013 11:03pm

Last night Sean slept well again.  He was able to fall back asleep after his respiratory therapy treatment.  Today the Rehab. MD came in and talked to Jesi and Jerry.  He said that they were going to repeat his Nerve Conduction Test to see whether the Milan Sheath coating the nerves was still damaged or if it was the nerves themselves.  They said that if it was the Milan Sheath that his recovery would start to progress quicker then if it is the nerves.  Hope to get those results tomorrow. 

Sean had Face-Time with a young man who had this twice, once at age 10 and once at age 17.  He gave Sean a lot of pointers and told him that the recovery can be long and painful but that if he does what physical therapy asks of him he will come back 100%.  This young man now plays football for the Air Force Academy. 

They sat him up on the edge of the bed again today, holding him for 10 minutes.  Later in the afternoon they got him up in the wheelchair for about an hour.  His cousin Trevor watched a movie with him while he was up. 

They plan to move Sean either tonight or tomorrow to the Critical Care Unit.  They still need to monitor him because he has difficulty with secretions and needs to be suctioned once in a while.  When he's able to cough better it won't be so scary.  His movement in his hands are about the same, and he still cannot hold his head up.  I know that God is watching over him and that His love will hold us all together.  Thanks for your prayers.
