I just finished helping Paul in the shower. He is doing much better and healing well now.The incision area has shrunk and the hematoma has gone down. He still in some pain but not nearly as bad as before. That man scared the bjeepers out of me. He is a whopping 145 lbs now! The man eats more than me! I need his metabolism. His sister Sharon is skinny like him also. She is not a diabetic though as far as I know.
He is doing much better!This was an extremely bad accident and he is suffering from EXtreme Boredom!
My mom is doing great. Totally back to herself mentally. She was incoherent for about 2-3 weeks I am in charge her medical and I have her off the pain meds totally during the day and only one at night when needed.. I have her on Ensure 2x daily and she is getting really great care. Gives you some peace to know she is so much better just with a few changes. She is getting new dentures and if she has to pay more than her copay my siblings are going to help. Yay!! Life is getting better.
Lizzy has discovered Skype. She was online with Emma and her brother Nick for two hours the other day. Then, Aubrey another SMA friend from Louisiana. It was so cute listening to her. She is so excited.
Lizzy is doing pretty well these days but I still worried about her back and ribs. Seems everything I do is not enough in my opinion. I work on her a few times a day and I have not given up but I do NOT want her to go through a major surgery. She is not complaining at all. We are done with swim therapy and have to come up with more goals we need to achieve to keep her in swim therapy.
We go to Madison on the 12th for a SMA Family Day at Madison on the 13th. Christen is going to speak on traveling. Not me. this time. Then, we come back for two days and back up there again for Lizzy's Muscle clinic. That will be the biggest plan trip we have gone this year so far. Then Lizzy, B-day week in September we will be in Minnesota visiting some close friends! We can not wait!!
Lizzy starts home school in a few weeks. She is so excited!!
