Really, part deux

History was made in the Junior Worlds today by someone who will only be old enough to compete at Worlds in 2020 (in Montreal). She landed 2 clean quads in the free skate!!

One of the medalists in the men's event will be going on to (senior) Worlds in Milan which will be his 12th competition this season!

Of course, we all know that @Really is stronger than either of them!!

Sending warm thoughts and prayers.
 
Hello everyone... forgive me for not writing sooner. Lee has been stable, I have been sneaking off to work, and I just forgot to keep in touch.

Today was Day 480, and Lee wasn't talking much. That isn't unusual these days; since I last wrote, she had an infection to deal with, and between the bugs and the drugs, she didn't talk hardly at all. But the infection seems to be gone; she looks better, seems more stable, and when she does talk, she is coherent, but very quiet. It seems that she needs rest more than anything right now, so I've been letting her get that. I will be away at work for the next 3 weeks, so she will get lots more. I'll be home every weekend, and I'm hoping to see changes for the better.

Her nurses are taking good care of her; they talk with her and manage her needs, and keep a clear record of her moments for me to read when I return. They celebrate her moments with her.

The Olympics are on TV (taped replays on-demand) so we've been running back through the skating again; I don't know how all of you watch the replays over and over when you already know that this skater fell on her butt doing the axel, but she does too, so that's what we've been doing. Sooner or later she'll figure out it's like the Rocky Horror Picture Show and start calling the jumps before they happen.

Anyway, she is stable, I think getting better (slowly) and seems to be in a good frame of mind. I want her back; ai clearly remember how she was in September, and that long 3 months of no response seems to have vanished from my mind (thankfully), leaving just the steady day-to-day we've had for the last month... I keep thinking she should be improving faster, but this is her pace, not mine, so I'll just have to deal with it.

She loves it when the school delivers cards and we sit and open them, one at a time, and I read every one to her and show them to her. We keep them all, so she can read them again, on her own, when she gets better.

Thanks for the cards, thoughts, and prayers. We feel them all.

It may seem slow to you (understandably) but compared to pretty much everything else we've heard from you for the past 480 days (but who's counting?) this is incredibly fabulous news. Thank you so much for the update! It's so good to hear that she's following skating again, that you're able to work regularly, that she seems stable, lucid, infection-free and on a steady upward trajectory. After all she's been through, no wonder it's taking her a long time to recover!

I'm so glad she will be able to enjoy Worlds whether live or on replay.

Very very wonderful news. I am so very glad for you both.

Thank you so much for the latest about Lee. You're so right, @Gerry. It's a slow process, and it's at Lee's own pace. Patience is what it's all about, and at the end, Lee will be all the better for it. I'm so thankful Lee is stable now. God bless you both, and still keeping y'all in my thoughts and prayers.
