It's hard to believe that kids go back to school tomorrow after winter break...as you all know, we did not spend winter break together but we did get go bring in the New Year together and that was wonderful. Becca and Ian were happy to see each other...gave each other the biggests hug I have seen them give each other in a very long time. They told each other how much they missed each other and loved each other...we will hold that one dear as who knows when it will happen again. Sunday, we just relaxed around the house for the most part. My parents came over to see Ian...my dad, "Pop", had been recovering from his own stuff and his MD's would not let him come to the hosptial to see Ian....this was very hard on both of them...so yesterday, Sunday, Jan. 1st was the 1st time they had seen each other since Ian started getting sick and ended up in Hopkins. It was another great reunion. The two of them were both back up to their normal stuff...

Sunday afternoon, Becca and I went to my sisters for our family Hanukah party...it was good to be out and about even if it was not all of us. Then Becca and I came home, the 4 of us watched the Ravens game...way to go...
Today, have been another quite day. Ian is making good progress...he has been sitting in his wheel chair...even drove himself around the house a little bit, stood in his stander for a little bit (watching Diary of a Whimpy Kid and started dancing to the music). He has been eating well (for the most part) and playing on his mobigo. We even started doing some of his missed school work.
Tomorrow, Becca will go back to school, Brian will go to work and Ian and I will stay home. I plan on making lots of phone calls to doctors to make appointments and try to get him back into physical/occupational therapy an extra day this week. Just continuing to take it one day at a time and working with him as well as the whole family to get back to life.
Have a happy and healthy new year everyone...more to come on our superhero "Ian."

I'm so glad Ian's home! Tell him that Isaac and I send our love:) --Abigail Woloff
