Friday, August 17th – Day +88

Hi Everyone,

I spoke with Mike on the phone and he sounded good.  He said that therapy went pretty good today.  I know that one of the Social Workers sent me some reports that I haven’t read yet regarding his therapy.  I received them earlier and will let you know if anything new is said.

Anyway, he also told me what doctors were on his care team and that they took him off more of the steriods.  That is a big relief since they are what cause many of the side effects that Mike has been suffering through.  Rick went to visit him yesterday and even exercised with him at therapy!  Did better than me – I just keep count for Mike!

Mom went to her spine appointment today.  the doc gave her some suggestions for exercise and said that she should keep walking.  Also wants her to do the spirometer to keep her lungs in shape.  The type of treatment we thought might help mom isn’t used for her problem it is for spine fractures that are new.  He was very nice and I think we all felt like he gave some good advice to keep mom healthy!

Thanks for all of your continued prayers and support over the last few months.  I know that we have a ways to go but am feeling very confident these last two days that all will be fine.

love, Ann
