TODD TURNS 40 ON FEB. 2ND

Hello to all our friends, well wishers and family
We hope everyone is doing well and is in good health. We are sorry that we have not written in a while.

The big news is that Todd turns 40 this week! February 2nd. Who would have thought! Everyone who meets Todd thinks that he looks like he is in his twenties. No one would ever think that 40 years young is the start of the rest of your life. Thank you dear God.

All is going well but slowly with Todd. He is still going to outpatient therapy three days a week and is still doing home therapy 24/7.Everyday skills for us are a challenge for Todd but he never complains and is working very hard to get better. Nothing is beyond Todd's reach. Todd is beginning to put words together to form sentences. he is still walking with a cane but he surprised us this week by walking across the kitchen floor without it. His right arm is still improving slowly and he has limited movement but it has definitely improved since the accident. This just means he'll have to work that much harder to get it better. Please don't forget to remember Todd in your prayers since he has a long road in front of him. Also, please remember to thank God for all that he has done. Without him we would never be where we are today.
Just a little note of interest for those of you who may not know. Todd's head took the brunt of his accident on August 26th. It's ironic how his whole right side is affected when it was his head that hit. To quote our friend John Cimino "it's like a computer crashed and now it has to be re-booted." Who knows how long it will take. Todd's bike, mp3 player and glasses were all fine.

With all our love and prayers,
The Kitsock family

You know what the great thing is about your birthdays? No matter how old you get, I'll always be 14 years younger than you! However, you still look like you're 12, so at least you still have that going for you :) You're so precious! Happy Birthday Toddy!

Happy Birthday my dear brother. Love Chrissy. xxoo.
