So many people have visited this blog over the last 48 hours! Thanks for joining the Chad-love network.
Chad is still staying close to home, completing his exercises and forging new information routes within his brain. Shannon is doing everything she can to facilitate his return to health. They are both trying to rest.
Shannon’s dad is in town now, and her mom will be back within two weeks. Chad’s mom and dad have been highly participatory throughout the surgery and subsequent recovery. All of the siblings – Shannon’s lovely sister Tori and Chad’s millions of siblings – have also been on hand to supply loads of love and support.
Many of you have wondered how you can help, and those of you who work at PetSmart (there are a lot of you!) will soon have an opportunity. Please mark your calendars for Saturday, April 11, 2009 from 2 to 5pm, and stay tuned! As soon as I get the word from Amber, I will post more information.
For friends and family not employed by PetSmart, there will be other opportunities to help. Someone suggested a topless car wash, for when Chad is feeling better. But Shannon thinks we might get arrested.
