Hello friends,

I want to take some time to tell you about my last few months.

The week before Thanksgiving, we had a normal weekend, but overnight I went into respiratory arrest. The Georgetown Fire fighters and EMS saved my life.  It turns out that I had pneumonia and did not know.  I have been on a ventilator since that night. 

My goal has been to return home and get our family back together. My wife Kim has been at my side 24 hours a day at the hospital to help me.  You see with a tracheotomy I cant speak, and the ALS prevents me from mobility of even lifting my hand.  She has become my communicater. I'm inspired by her will and dedication to me.

My two girls have had the support of my fantastic family and friends. They however have had to endure the ups and downs of my life in the hospital and no parent with them. I'm very proud that they have tried to work hard in school and get through these trying times.

With the generosity and support of family and friends, financially and spiritually supporting us and with  God’s will I can report I am home.  Unfortunately I have been home twice and had to return to the hospital because of pneumonia.  I'm hoping I'm over that and can get stronger so I can do some work from home, and return a little normalcy to my life and family.

This has been maybe the most trying time of my life, but being home makes it worth it.  God left me here for a reason so I have more work to do.  My road is still difficult and I may call on you for help.
