Monday - Terry had land therapy again. His sore is healed, but the lift for the pool broke. He did pretty well, but this time when he laid down on his tummy, it was uncomfortable. We'll have to work on that. We went to Mike and Esteina's for dinner. They're going to Las Vegas this weekend (without kids!!!), so we wanted to visit a bit first. We had a nice evening.
Tuesday - We took some of the extra stock back today. We got it all sorted out last week, but hadn't had the time to return it.
Wednesday - At therapy with David today, Terry stood SIX times! Then he did weight-shifting from foot to foot. Then....he took a STEP!!!!! He very deliberately took a step with his right foot, momentarily putting all of his weight on his prosthesis.We were all very pleased! We went to the store for a few items after that, then came home for the evening.
Thursday - Terry stayed in bed for quite a while today while I was working on paperwork, etc. Then we got ready and went to return more stock. We also went to buy more swim trunks for Terry. His are pretty worn. After shopping, we came home for the night.
Friday - We got Terry's power chair today. It's been in the works for quite some time. The one he had was a loaner until his was ready. This one is much like the loaner, just a little better suited to Terry's size and needs. Terry finally had water therapy today. Since he does have his new chair, they took the manual one away. We haven't used the P/C around the pool. We don't want to give it a dunking! We'll just have to be very careful! The last time Terry had water therapy was Sept. 28. That was the first time Julie had him try side-stepping. It didn't go very well the first time. Today when he tried, he did GREAT! It always amazes me how he seems to learn even when he's not practicing. His strength and ability keep improving. Praise God!! We came home after therapy and had a restful evening.
Saturday - Grandma Donna brought the boys this morning. She has them while Mike and Esteina are in Las Vegas. Logan didn't want to stay with us! He was having too much fun with her. He did stay, and we had a good morning. We went to the store after they left, then home for showers, etc.
Sunday - Terry said he felt a "blanket of peace" settle on him this morning. He battles the blues from time to time, remembering all he used to be able to do. Thankfully, God reminds him that there are better days to come. We went to church, then had a quiet day, enjoying a movie together.
