Courage Award

On Saturday, February 27, Ken was honored with the Courage Award from the Mid-Atlantic Tennis and Education Foundation. In 2008 Ken received the Lifetime Achievement award from the MATEF.

Lydia, Alex, Larissa, Serge and Ken's mom Janet went to the event held at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, VA.

Also in attendance at the Aspen Hill table were Danielle, Ruth, Joe Mesmer, Jeff and Sarah Klein.

This very nice crystal vase in sitting on out kitchen table with some beautiful roses from the Succar's. 

There was a Poach for the Coach flyer in the program...very cool. 

Besides many of the attendees in our group getting lost going to, or leaving Army Navy, everyone had a nice time. The food was delicious, especially the mini crab cakes!

Ken's sisters Alison and Debbie were home with Ken laughing and joking the whole night. Ken waited up until everyone got home to get updates about the event. He was so excited to hear all about everything that happened! 

Mixed Signals...and a Courage Award

So Ken has been perking up a bit this weekend. He finally got his physical therapy yesterday and loved it!!!. I have only been asking for the physical therapist and occupational therapist for over 4 weeks now! I do not want to go into how his Dr. drags his feet about writing orders for the Hospice people. Suffice it to say that it has been very frustrating.

The physical therapist remarked surprisingly about his strength in his legs and overall. I have seen this and told everyone. Also, he has been rectifying a cold. Interesting, don't you think?

I have found a new Oncologist, but have to talk to our Hospice Nurse on Mon. in order to make the transfer. This man is so very gentle and peaceful- wow, and taking on Ken to write orders, out of the goodness of his heart. Just amazing.

We have been so very blessed in so many ways, I could write a book about them all! God certainly works in mysterious and non-mysterious ways:)

So tonite, Ken is receiving the COURAGE AWARD from the Mid-Atlantic Tennis and Education Foundation, along w/some descent people being honored into the Tennis Hall of Fame. The dinner and award ceremony will host a whole entourage of K-G supporters! More on this later.

...so he is still plugging away! Me , oh, my.....
