There is a strong feeling of excitement this week as I wait for my family to arrive in town Friday for a visit. This will be the first time my whole family has come to Missoula and it will be great having them here. Hoping the weather will be nice but you never know what spring in Montana can bring. I'll post some pictures of our visit on next weeks edition.
I spent last week getting my college admissions stuff together. Applying to college was something I've dreamed about for some time but never in a million years did I think the dream would be in reach. This fall it is my intention to attend the University of Montana and start the work towards a possible major in Journalism. This whole upcoming process will be a lot of work but the experience will be worth it.
The Bivona trach saga is continuing and we are trying to find a good solution. The manufacturer doesn't think they can make my custom trach to the specs we ordered. We're continuing to work with Bivona to see if we can resolve this current hurdle and get the trach that will best fit my needs.
Tomorrow afternoon Dustin and I will be visiting MonTech to try out the Brain Fingers system. Brain Fingers are a headband you wear and supposedly it allows a person with a disability to operate a computer by thought. I'm really excited to try out this technology and see if it lives up to it's claim. Definitely more on this trial demo next week.
That's the news this week from western Montana. I'll return next week after my family's visit with the latest from Missoula.
Peace,
Mark
