Home front news

For those still following, I apologize once again for delays in updates.

As of this date, most know that we have been home now working on our 3rd week. Things have been different coming home.

Mama Hen: We are sorry no call yet. We had hoped for a visit this week but our trip to Ft Rucker proved eventful and time consuming. Board transfers are still a work in progress and time consuming, yet almost comical and bonding---definitely requires some patience and trust!!!

Since the BP scare, not too much else traumatic happening. Lots of visitors by way of PT, OT finally came out (even though she's leaving after this week--don't know what will happen then), nurses and evaluations, and of course the Ft Rucker visit that we thought was a "meet and greet" kind of thing turned into a full blown doctor visit, evaluation, order tests and come back in a week thing.

No construction started yet on the house modifications. They finally came out today to discuss a plan and we hope they will be back Friday to start with foundations. Found out that what was originally quoted as a two week event may now run 5 weeks--looks like a wonderful Christmas!! Yet I'm not complaining---getting started gets us closer to finishing.

PT continues to be impressed with Justin's strength & abilities (as do so many that meet him for the first time). Some have given us reason to question why they came out but if we can learn one new technique or better way, then it's worth their time to come out.

Justin thinks he has some tricep action going on. Says it's still too early to get excited but of course I do----anything new is worth some excitement. He's working hard on ab muscles, after what the RN told him about working them while we put him to bed. Funny how sometimes we think it's a spasm or something we did wrong and it's him working hard!!

  2. Thanks for your updates. We look forward to learning all the progress. We're so proud of all the determination. As far as a timeline for the completion of the remodeling project, my advice (from many experiences) is to not count on any given date. They're only guesses. Take one day at a time and be patient. We love ya'll, and remember to keep the faith!
