Terry had a EMG (nerve test) on Monday. The doctor looked at Terry's left hand (it has drawn up in a claw). The doctor hooked Terry up to several lead lines & "shocked" him. The doctor moved the lines several times, as well as sticking needles in and shocking him. It was unfortunately painful, but the news was GREAT! All of the nerve impulses are working. There is of course some damage, but with time and therapy it will heal. After the doctor visit, they went to visit with Terry's uncle & aunt - Jimmy & Shirley. After the visit, they went to his therapy session.
Tuesday Terry had a power wheelchair evaluation. The doctor gave them a RX for the wheelchair. There was suppose to be a 5 page questionnaire for insurance but the doctor had not received it. Lynn contact AHHE to see what they should do. AHHE is contacting the doctor and working on it for her. They will have to wait and see what happens now.
Wednesday - Terry got a haircut and went to therapy today. Jimmy (son) dropped the van off at the shop to be worked checked out.
Thursday - Quiet day. Received news that the van had several problems - they are wondering if the shop is just telling them that to get more work. A friend from church will look at it more and possibly he can fix it.
Friday - Terry had PT & OT today. The sessions are going very well and there are improvements daily.
Saturday - They babysat Garrett and Logan (grandsons). Esteina (D-I-L) had to work. Amanda (daughter) & Curtis came over with Kenzie & Ava (Curtis' daughters). Amanda left to go to work but everyone else stayed. Curtis was a great help watching kids while Lynn did stuff with Terry. They enjoyed seeing and playing with the boys. Later on Tony (son) and his kids (Seth, Levi, & Lydia) cam over for a visit. Terry got his first shower at home (the bathroom is almost done). It was great to finally be able to shower in the new bathroom. This was the most relaxing shower yet.
Sunday - They went to Mt Comfort United Methodist Church (their old church). Terry wanted to go there and thank them (several people there sent cards, prayers, etc). When they arrived they were greeted by a few old friends. It was nice to see familiar faces from so long ago (they left there in 1989 to help plant the church they attend now). Everyone in the church had been praying for them. Terry wanted to show them the VISIBLE proof of God's care and healing. He spoke for 3-5 minutes recounting some of the less-know miracles. Later on that day, Eric (grandson) came over. He is back for a visit from the Marines. He will go back for more training, then he will be deployed to Iraq (they also have a nephew - Josh - who will be deployed about the same time). Terry had another visitor - Guy (friend) who was up from SC for the Formula One race.
