Brain cancer is...


 ...getting a triple dose of humor therapy.

Today Darrell and Andrea give the official stamp of approval to humor therapy.  There is such power in the laughter you bring to Darrell's treatment. 

Good thing, Kathie and Franceen, you supplied the apple along with the humor.  Just in case!

And, Team D, the selfie kisses?  They are such a great range from sweet to marvelously silly.   Keep 'em coming!

One Super Hero Update:  Darrell endured speech therapy today.  He walked in with a goal (which I believe was his way of deflecting away from the exercises that some freak named "Einstein Puzzles:"  "Look over here, Maureen, Shiny Things!"), and he walked out saying it was tiring but helpful.

Because Team D includes a number of vocabulary lovers, I'll tell you that today we worked on prosody.  Context clue:  Reading Dr. Seuss books aloud is a great way to regain prosody in speech.

 Here's to Thursday and its proximity to Friday.  Hugs to you and yours.

  1. Had no idea prosody was important in speech therapy. Extremely big part of songwriting though! :0)

    Hey...what's with the Iowa Maple Syrup? My Canadiana cage is being seriously rattled here! I've got the real stuff! Ha!

  2. You Canadian songwriters think you own everything, you and your prosodic syrup!
