Paul is doing great - I gotta find a better superlative - amazing, stupendous, outstanding, tremendous... We went yesterday to the grocery store for Paul to get some walking exercise with the intention of using the motorized wheelchair when Paul got tired. He got tired, but he powered on through and walked the whole way. Awesome!! After the grocery store, we went to my folks to hang out for a little while and to get Ben, then we were on our way home to our own house with our complete family (minus dogs, we'll get them tomorrow, hopefully). Janet moved in last night to help me with Ben and with Paul - it's been great having her here.
Today, M&D, Theri, Sam, Suzie, and I walked/ran the Seaside 5K. Ben came with while Paul and Janet hung out at home. We had intended to make an appearance at sunday school, but we were late getting back from the race. Paul still managed to get through the Sunday craziness with brunch and dinner at my parents and a visit with Paul's grandparents in between. He was able to get around most of the day without the walker. He's moving really slow, but is able to get up and down out of chairs and walk around without it.
Tomorrow is his first outpatient dialysis. It seems like the outpatient people are a bit more organized and hopefully will keep to a better schedule. He's in there from 11:30-3:30 MWF. We have an appointment after dialysis with Dr. Thomas to check out the graft and tubes. It will be a long day, but hopefully we'll have a great outcome.
I am so proud of how Paul is doing and believe he will be completely unassisted really soon! Please pray for his continued strength and that we come home tube-free tomorrow!
