July 20, 2006 - Out of the hospital...? July 28
Well it looks like we have a discharge date! July 28. That will leave me 3 days after the tiles come in to get the bathroom finished. By a miracle it can be done - otherwise we will have to go to my parents house for a while.
We will still be coming to Walla Walla for outpatient services for at least a while. It will not be permanent, but the people working with him here really want to take him further before they give him up :-) Dr. Breland told him today that his brain was young enough to get that left arm working and talked a bit today about Constraint-Induced therapy - not letting him use his right arm forcing his brain to connect and use the left arm. It will be very frustrating at first and it won't be an all day exercise either. He is trying out a wheelchair and the girls will be here next Monday for "Training" day.
Once he is home it will be up to us to make sure we do exercises and keep up a schedule that will continue what the therapies have started. Discipline is what its going to take and that is our job right now. So I may be a harder task master than the therapists here :-) Actually I will probably have to tell Bobb to chill and rest so he doesn't overdo.
I've been in a panic, because there is so many things to get done before he comes home and then the scheduling and there has been trouble with our car. It seems to be running again and doing fine so we pray that will continue. It has 150,000 miles on it and we will continue to rack up the miles for a while. Pray God keeps it running and there will be no major repairs or that it dies along the way :-)
Praise to the Father in Heaven who gives all good things!!! May He be glorified in everything.
I say that today - but yesterday I was ready for melt down(but God worked out a few of what I was stressing over :-) - so keep up praying for us - We couldn't be strong except in the Lord's strength and your prayers that uphold us through it all.
