Mike and the kids returned today from a whirlwind tour of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. During the trip there was spotty cell phone reception and it was hard to contact Kathleen every night. During the trip Kathleen received a burn on her wrist and it is impossible to find out how it happened but it appears to be getting better. Samie was frantic when she heard about her burn and gave her mom a big hug.

While we were gone there was news that a man who was minimally conscious has begun to communicate by the use of deep brain stimulation. Doctors at Kaiser told us when we asked three years ago about this treatment that Kathleen, despite the same diagnosis, was not a candidate. After asking Kaiser about this treatment next week, the family will likely investigate the treatment through Valley Medical without health care coverage.

Welcome home. Arriving home safely from a fun trip is the best feeling in the world!
