The running streak is in tact - Baxter the Dog and I jogged through the rain on our usual course. Actually, for Baxter, it's really more of a trot. We ran through a light drizzle tonight that was otherwise uneventful. I will say that, not having run for quite some time until starting this streak, the every day grind is taking its toll on my legs a bit...my ankle is a little stiff, my foot hurts a bit and my legs are somewhat sore. But, I'm certainly not going to complain anymore than that. Noah is doing his exercises everyday and it's not easy for - I can certainly do the same for a month.
Noah was home with Susan today - he was still very fussy with his cough and stuffy nose, but he had a good day with his hand again today. He apparently went to "answer" her cell phone with his right hand today - though in a very uncoordinated manner. Kids are really starting early with cell phones these days, huh?
I wanted to post a couple of links that we have found helpful - just some additional information about pediatric stroke:

Forty days of rain since we found out our little Noah had suffered an in utero stroke. Fortunately, he is tougher than his old man - not only surviving, but now getting stronger each and every day. We get angry, upset, sad, mad and overwhelmed. We also are happy, excited, grateful and lucky. Thank you again to those of you have reached to us- it means the world to us. We are always happy to talk about Noah and answer any questions you may have...if your child is in the same situation or if you are just curious to know more.
