VERY cool.
This issue may come up again, but you're right, this is HUGE progress. And, really, that's what we are longing for--just progress.
Hopefully, you can be somewhat flexible, in that if, for instance, there is something important going on (an anniversary meeting, a convention, a retreat) he can make those. But on a week-to-week basis, this sounds pretty workable.
Thanks for sharing the good news!
