Labor Day was nice in Atlanta weather. Justin had a good day with BP at 133/86 with temp at 99.1; today's BP was at 95/61 and temp at 98.2
We did a day of training--OT this morning seemed routine. I thought we would be learning something new and think I offended Jenn when I apparently laughed out loud and had to explain that we were going over things we'd been doing for weeks. Then I felt I had stepped on toes by explaining our head nurse from week one was helping to advocate 'hands on' then class training. Most of what we did I felt we had learned and was already adapting to what worked best for Justin and us. Didn't mean to but I felt we may have offended.
From there we went into the TR portion---mostly tons & tons of paper work, resources, laws and 'future' contact after discharge. Whew----lots more to add to our collection of educational reading!!
Then PT started; I knew Beth was going to be the one to work us and work us hard. We are set again tomorrow for more learning with her, then again on Friday. We have one more 1/2 day class to attend and then we wait for when they want to transfer him to Augusta.
Each day changes here where VA is concerned and we finally had to explain that our housing time soon runs out and we have 'jobs' and obligations. We were advised they hope to know by Monday what will happen and when (another hurry and wait scenario). Amazing to have two facilities supposedly eager to have the same person----I pray the VA will want to turn him loose once they get him (the way Shepherd talks, I'm wondering).
Didn't get photos uploaded yet; will do my best to get some new ones done.
Love you all, miss home, think of you all often. Please continue to pray. Thank you!!!!

Just came from bible study tonight a group of 18 we have lifted you all up in prayer. For Justin and for the ones that are driving back and forth to be with Justin and to learn how to care for him. We lifted all up to lord and we praised him for all that he has blessed Justin with as of today and all blessings to come.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to share this blessing with you all. we have a amazing heavenly father.
love to all and God Bless all
Thinking of you all, hope you are having a great week. Love you and miss you being here. I know you are pulled in several directions at one time, but that is just what Mama's do, and we do not regret a minute of the time we spend on our loved ones. I know Justin has a mission ahead of him, and trust he will be encouraged to think of what a mentor he can be to those he is placed in contact with, we do not know what good is yet to come from all this. But know that we are standing along side of all of you. Love from extra grandma, Lue.
