Week of July 2, 2007

Monday was therapy day. They worked on Terry's balance and some leg exercises. Lynn can see that he has made MAJOR improvements but she is anxious for him to move more. They had some trouble with the lift again. They called Ted (friend) and he said to see how it goes for a while (then let him know).
Tuesday and Thursday were cleaning the trailer days. Lynn got Terry settled before Beth (friend) came over to help her clean it. Lynn will be going to the festival in Fortville on July 20-22.
Thursday AHHE brought a power wheelchair for Terry to try. It was too tall for the van entry (but it can be adjusted).
Friday was therapy day. The therapists did some evaluations on Terry for improvement. They didn't find too much improvement but Lynn sees it differently - attitude, determination, gratitude, and pain level. After therapy, they picked up Taco Bell and went to the county fairgrounds. Chase, Wyatt, and Rylee (grandkids) were showing their ponies at the county fair. While at the horse show, the announcer mentioned that Terry was there and welcomed him. They were able to watch the kids perform in two events. Then they left as Terry was uncomfortable (he had been in wheelchair for about 10 hours). They enjoyed watching the kids.
Saturday was a Fourth of July party at Lynn's moms house. They had a really good time visiting with family. They made a short stop at home before leaving again to go to Esteina's (DIL) parents house for a fireworks display. They had dinner and visited with friends before the FANTASTIC fireworks show. By the time they got home, Terry was worn out and hurting.
Sunday was a quiet and relaxing day spent at church, short trip to Walmart, and home (after a very full weekend).
