Strike Out Stroke

We got some really exciting news this week! Jake has been nominated to be recognized at the Strike Out Stroke Colorado Rockies game on May 17th. All the Denver area hospitals were asked to pick a couple of their stroke patients to be considered. We're told that those chosen will get to go onto the field before the game, five will have their stroke stories read at the game, and one will get to throw out the first pitch. Jake was so excited when we told him and we were really honored Children's Hospital chose Jake as one of their nominees. Of course as with many things in our life, we have a scheduling conflict. Our school's annual auction is the same evening and they both start at the same time. Go figure. We talked about it and decided going to the game is more important. While we are big supporters of the school and hate to miss the auction, this is one of those things that only happens once. We should find out early next week if he is chosen, keep your fingers crossed.

Other than that, it was a pretty mellow week. Jake had a routine MRI on Wednesday and we'll get the results on Tuesday when we go to see his stroke doctor. He got around great at school all last week and his stamina is holding up well being there all day. We are noticing that with the longer school days, come 8:00 pm, he is wiped out and asking to go to bed. If only we could get Luke to do the same thing!
