Sunday, August 5th – Day +76
Hi everyone,
I talked to Mike this noon. He had just gotten back from therapy and was going to eat so he could go back to therapy for the afternoon. They are doing therapy twice a day 7 days a week. It is grueling for him but he is doing it. I am very proud of him and told him so. He isn’t walking at this time but doing different exercises to strengthen his upper and lower body muscles. He is using some machines and such. Right now they are using a sling to transfer him from his bed to his chair. I think it must be easier on his bottom sores so that they have more of a chance of healing.
Mike sounded good. He didn’t complain or anything. He is tired but didn’t even say that. I am glad that he is giving it his all. I will try to go see him Wednesday evening.
Mom is doing great too. I went to Flushing yesterday and visited her. I took her all around the grounds and the building in a wheel chair so she could see where everything is and what activities are available for her. She looked good and is much calmer. I don’t think it will be long before she is up and running again. The docs are very hopeful!
I may not blog daily because I can’t always get ahold of Mike. He has past the 3/4 days mark to Day +100. At that point he may be off many of his medications and that will be a grand day.
Talk to you all later.
love, Ann
