People often ask how Vernon is doing. You’ll remember he had an encounter with a truck on his motor scooter over two months ago. I tell them he’s still in the coma, though making progress . . . if very slowly. I also recommend them to the blog created especially for him with daily updates, mostly by Allison, Vernon’s wife and main caretaker (at the hospital every day).<\/p>\n

And I’ll recommend it to you.<\/p>\n

In it you’ll not only learn of Vernon’s progress, you’ll come to know Allison, a creative writer, a buoyant spirit, a Christian, an overcomer, an involved mother, an inspired photographer and an artist. Do I sound proud? Of course I am, and all the more for how she is handling this very challenging period of life . . . one which none of us would choose.<\/p>\n

And by the blog you’ll also observe a community at work around her, and Vernon . . . the kind of which is essential for such a time as this\u00a0. . . and\u00a0not to be taken for granted.<\/p>\n

I could say more, but I’d rather you go over to the “Sans Oxygen” site (named after one of Vernon’s typefaces): http:\/\/sansoxygen.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
