Happy New Year to all of you, and your families. A new year is exciting. It is filled with promise and hope ... like a new page in a copy book. You want everything to be perfect.
I went out for dinner last night with cousin Jimmy and cousin Scotty and their beautiful ladies. It was a lovely evening ... but a dreadful drive home ... the streets were like glass (icy rain again). I made it home to see in the New Year with my boys. Ciaran had friends over (thankfully nice kids) and Conor was on the computer connecting with his internet friends. It was quiet and very "undramatic", a welcome respite from our previous six weeks.
Conor was feeling a little "cabin fever" last night and bemoaning the fact that he couldn't "go out". A sharp look from me with a ... "in the grand scheme of things" ... and he was duly chastised. Do I get it ... you bet! He's 20 years old and he should have been out drinking with his buds! God willing ... he'll be doing that again soon enough. Does he understand just how fortunate --- how blessed he really is? Yeah .. he does. To those of you who have spoken with him ... his conversations are riddled with words like "lucky", "miracle" and "unbelievable". He truly is grateful ... but he's 20 ... and he's raring to go. Soon ... my son .... very soon!
This week is fairly quiet for us until Wednesday ... two therapies on Wednesday, a nerve conduction test on Thursday, and back to the ortho on Friday. No rest for the wicked! But as I said .. it's a new year ... filled with hope and expectation that this recovery will continue.
So enjoy the day ... hold on to those special feelings (which hopefully aren't marred by big heads and rumblin' tummies) ... and here's wishing that 2007 brings great joy and great prosperity to us all.

Happy new year Rose. Hope you had a good one. I'm talking to Conor now and yes, you're right. There's the word "miracle" in this little conversation. Words can't describe how happy I am when he finally typed "hi"! Thank you for being such a lovely woman and most of all, a great mom for Conor!
Happy new year once again!
Happy New Year to you all!!! Sorry I did not call but will definitely call soon. You are all in our thoughts as always. Miracles do happen and Conor is definitely part of that. Good luck this week with the appts and will chat soon.
Love Diane, BJ and Pat

Happy New Year to the Laceys. The Guilbeaults put us on to this blog. It's a great idea.
We are very glad to hear Conor is doing well and back home. Everyone at Pine Lodge is thinking about you Conor and we have a very large poutine with your name on it. Ok, one for Ciaran as well. As Rose has noted, poutine has a very special healing power.
Please let us know if you need anything and we will keep up to date with the blog.
Jim and Karol
