Sunday, September 2nd – Day +104
Hi Everyone,
I talked to Mike this evening and he sounded better than last night. I think he was just having a really bad day yesterday. Pain and all was getting to him.
Anyway, He told me that he asked about getting out of bed to exercise but the team is still trying to get his bladder issues under control – so Mike did his own exercises in his bed. He used his weights and tried to work his arms. I told him how proud I was of him to get moving even though it seems like he’s tied to the bed!!! Also, he said he was watching television. Sara and Ron had suggested that he watch some TV to help the time pass. He just sits there for hours and that seems to make you just think about yourself.
So, it seems that he is giving it his best shot. I told him I was bringing some other weights with me on Wednesday for him to use. I told him that he and I would do some exercising together! He sounded like he was glad about that.
We chatted for a while and he seemed to be less stressed than yesterday. I keep praying that we’ll turn the corner and start healing quicker so I’m taking this as a positive sign. I know he can do it and beat this!
I also talked to Mom tonight. She had a number of visitors today. I may go to see her first on Wednesday. It is easier to see both of them at the same time with school on and all. She doesn’t seem in a hurry to go home, but maybe after her home visit on Tuesday she’ll feel different. She is doing very well.
Thanks for the prayers. I’ll keep you all posted.
love, Ann
