Monday - At water therapy today, we found out that Jill, one of the therapists, is having some health problems. Julie asked us to pray for her. Terry did well in therapy. He is getting stronger all of the time. Praise God! Julie's next goal is to have him use a cane instead of the walker. That will take a LOT more reliance on his legs instead of his arms. I'm anxious to see how soon it will happen. After therapy, we ran a couple of errands, then came home.
Tuesday - I had dropped the van off for some work yesterday. It was ready by noon today, so Mandy dropped me off on the way to work. A little later we picked Rylee up after a field trip, then went to Home Depot. Terry is looking into siding for the office. We took Rylee home after that, then came home for the night.
Wednesday - At therapy today, Terry got a new therapist. David's contract is up, so now we have Rachel. During therapy, Terry stood 6 times, staying up for 3 minutes on his best attempt. We need to strengthen his legs!
Thursday - We ran a few errands early in the day. Later, Arlyne's family came for dinner. It was a nice visit.
Friday - At W/T today, we took Terry's walker away. Julie stood on one side, and I was on the other. Terry used our arms for support. Julie can get a better idea of how much Terry is using his arms that way. Also, Terry seems to stand taller without the walker. It was pretty nice to be at his side walking. After we came home, I checked the trailers for anything that might freeze, then we spent a little time outside. It was a BEAUTIFUL day!
Saturday- We didn't babysit this morning. Garrett wanted some "Mommy time", so Esteina stayed home with them. We had a lazy morning. Terry had his shower a little later, and afterward I wanted him to try to roll on his side. He worked at it a bit, then did it! For the first time since the accident, he rolled by himself! It felt really good to him, and opens up many possibilities for future improvements is our routine. I really think that over the next few weeks there will be LOTS of advances made. He seems to be right on the verge of so many things. We went out to the track for a visit, then came home for the evening.
Sunday - We had a fairly quiet day today. I baked some cookies to mail to Eric in Iraq, then made to list of what else I wanted to send. I'll pick that up tomorrow after a doctor's appointment in the morning.
