A phone call from Gerry (10/3/04) from steve

As Gina reported in her last update, Gerry was allowed to go home for a day Sunday. Lori told me he attended church, was introduced to the congregation (something I would have loved to see!!) and sang hymns during the service.

A little later in the day, Gerry called me after taking a nap. I'd been told that he'd been making more progress and sounded even better than he did when we saw him in August. When he came on the phone, I was surprised and amazed how much of the old Gerry was on the other end. He's still not all the way back yet, but his progress continues. We talked for a few minutes and he asked me how I was doing. He told me he loved going to church again. I told him he sounded great, better than he did when we'd seen him. It'll be a while before we visit him again, but it was great to talk to him even for a few minutes. I'm pulling for ya, Gerry.
