Tim,

Oh how I wish that we could have come to Houston. is such an

incredible young man. He's kind and gentle and loves little kids. For

him to see others who are like him would have been so good. We are

surely coming to Indianapolis.

You know I really don't have anyone that I can talk to about the

surgery. My husband is having a hard time talking about it. I put him

through the wringer during the back surgery. I need to talk about the

what if's and he won't go there.

I met 2 of the other deaf people who are going to be in the home

with when the MRMR agency sent me to look at a boarding home as a

place to consider for to live. That place was so awful. The two

that were already living there have no family that are involved with

them. It's like the families just through them away. We have been going

to the home and visiting with the one young woman. The other boy my son

knows from school. He is presently going to school in Pittsburgh but

when he is finished he has no place to go but back to the boarding home.

These people don't even have a way to communicate because there's no

signing staff in the home. Can you imagine loosing family and your

communication. I will not have this happen to ! I'm hoping to have

enough time before needing the surgery to get the home up and running. I

don't think I could agree to the surgery if things weren't settled for

. The doctors say it will defiantly need to be done in the next few

years. Without the surgery I will eventually go into heart failure.

Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
