Happy Birthday, Don!


Armed with good wishes from everyone, birthday ambassadors Cheryl and Terry went to see Mr. Scott at lunchtime on the occasion of his “36th” birthday! Samantha’s banner made a bright addition to the hospital dining room when it was hung on the windows for all to enjoy.

We presented him with the framed photograph taken in the Raleigh office last week in anticipation of this occasion.













We didn’t forget Larry’s bucket head picture either. He got a big laugh out of that one.

Pat said the mailbox was crammed full yesterday and took several trips to get it all in the house. Thanks to everyone for sending the birthday cards—they did laugh, and they did enjoy them.

Tomorrow is the big day as Don prepares to go home. He’s had a couple of “dry runs” where everything went well, and he’s looking forward to going home to stay. Yesterday he said “it is so quiet there; I’m really looking forward to that.”

It’s been a long journey (62 days) and there has been so much progress made. Don has really worked hard, and he has promised the rehab staff that he’ll be back, and he’ll be walking when he returns!

And now, this is what you really want to see….

Happy Birthday and Welcome Home tomorrow! God is good all the time!
