That's great news Brian!
Thanks for the update! My wife and I have been thinking about you ever since I first saw your post. I’m really glad she is going to be able to go home! It will be huge for her and the kids to be able to be together most of the time. And getting her back as close as possible to her normal routine may help her get some of her memories back.
It's been great to see the support you've been getting from all us computer nerds. I know how much it will mean to you. My wife and I are still recovering from 4 years of hell that we had starting with my disability over 10 years ago (Cluster Headaches if you're interested). About the same time my wife's job fell apart. We did what you thought you were going to have to do, paid bills with credit cards, and we still don't have it paid off... but its going down. (About $30,000, now in the second mortgage, left to go). Things were really tough for quite a while. Medical bills were high but probably nowhere near what you will have since there isn’t much they can do for my problem. If my Dad hadn’t been able to help us out some we would have gone bankrupt. And we don’t have any kids! But, things are finally looking better for us. My Wife has re-trained herself to be a SQL/ASP .NET developer and has a new full time job that she is able to do from home, which cuts down on expenses too. And it’s nice to have her around if I need her. I’m also having fewer headaches a day, so I’m hoping that they will go into a remission again soon (a long one would be nice!). We contributed to both the computer raffles; we know how much every dollar will count for you.
Keep us informed of Heather’s progress, I’m sure we aren’t the only ones that are wanting to know how things are going!
