Transition times

Quoting from a note Lynn sent last night to a group of friends and family:

"I am transitioning to a new phase in my illness. I'm very tired and it's hard to get around. I've moved my base of operations to the living room where we have set up an electric bed to replace the electric chair. We also replaced the rickety wheelchair after a fall and now have a larger reclining wheelchair to test out. Paul, Cicily, Meghan, Dana and Jono will be here this weekend. It means a lot to know that you've called, but sometimes it gets overwhelming. Right now it may be more helpful to send an email. Deborah will read them out to me and I'll respond when I can. Much love, Lynn"

 Despite this very serious change in circumstances, Lynn continues to excercise his impish self. Last week he was totally into spiderman. He and Corey, the Visiting Angel ( a group that's been incredibly helpful providing staff at home to help me) took the light rail to get a spiderman outfit. Here's a photo of him with his mask and with Meghan and Dana.

  And he still is insistent that we water the roses on our apartment balcony every day.

    We have always enjoyed Lynn's sense of humor - actually your whole family's sense of humor. Love the photo. Love to all. Linda and David
