Jeff is doing a lot better. He seems to be over the infection and back to his routine. He is scheduled to visit home tomorrow for an assessment of the house and to practice getting into a car, etc. He might be given a few 8 hr. leaves this weekend if he does well.
We on the other hand are preparing the house for his eventual homecoming. In some ways it is difficult in that we are not sure what to do. We anticipate somethings (bars in the shower, ramp in front) but the others are questionable. Will he be in a wheelchair, will he use a walker. That determines his mobility within the house.
We are fortunate that my cousin's husband Brett owns a ramp company (AmRamp.com) that installs metal ramps with rails. You may have seen them at various polling places. He is installing one this coming week. Gayle's brother Cliff has been over daily working on various tasks, and Jordan is home today to help move stuff around.
We want to thank all of you with your offers of help. But as you can tell, we still are not sure until tomorrow what needs to be done.
Jeff's attitude has been good. He tries hard in PT. They have been hooking up these bio-feedback modules that strap to his Calve's to help stimulate his nerves and hopefully retrain them to help him walk. He briefly stood up by himself for the first time yesterday.
Progress in small steps. Thank you for your continual prayers and support.
