Good day

Today was a good day. I was busy this morning selling cookies with my Girl Scouts. I left early to come see Paul, but Suzie and the girls stayed and sold them all!!! Hooray! I was really not looking forward to lugging the remainders in to work to sell them as I do almost every year.

Paul was still finishing up dialysis, so I met the Wilsons for lunch before meeting up with some other friends from church to visit with Paul. We had some time to just sit, relax, and play with Jack in the waiting room, which I really enjoyed. We really are so blessed to have such a wonderfully caring church family - you all are awesome!

By the time they all left, PT was working with Paul and they wouldn't let me in his room. I don't know why today was any different, but they wouldn't let me in... Anyhoo, they got him sitting up in the chair again where he sat for an hour. He didn't seem to be as sore today, yay! I had a good talk with his doctor tonight about seeing what we can do to move things along. Quite frankly, I'm not sure the PT people are worth much. They sit him up and leave, only once a day. Paul is willing and able to do more (at least twice a day... :), but he needs help to get there. So the doctor is going to look into PT coming twice a day or getting some resistance bands or something so that Paul can do more on his own to start building his muscles back up.

I left Paul a little early this afternoon to go spend some time with Ben. He is such a happy kid, it's hard to feel crummy around him. We played a bit, enjoyed a nap on the couch, and watched the US v Britain Olympic curling match. He is toddling all over the place now and is just happy as can be walking all over and getting into stuff. He has started pursing his lips together in a "ooh" sort of face lately. It is adorable. We'll have to get it on camera for you all.

Thank you all for the thoughts and comments about last night's post, they really mean a lot! We couldn't do all this without the help and support we're getting from all of you!!!
