Thank GOD and Praise be to the LORD for this short week upon us. Jeremy has worked hard, he had PT, OT and SLP all in one day and it wore him smooth out. He is using the walker more but you still have to put him in it, he is taking steps and he started yesterday to stand and put weight on the one leg that he has not been using. He had OT and SLP again today but took a good long nap. We are now once again fully staffed with nurses, what a relief. The one we have had a few days and I was beginning to doubt yesterday that we would keep her, I guess Friday and Saturday was a learning curve and yesterday she was awesome beyond words. Jeremy is also home with the HTS, Misty through the week and being his Para for the past 3 years and summer HTS for the past 2 summers she knows him well and has been a beyond help this summer for me. We orientated a new nurse yesterday, Jeremy responded well to so we will see when she starts on Monday.
I "officially" will be on vacation for the next 3 days and I can't tell you how desperately I need this. We will leave in the morning for a leisure 3 days away from our life. There are no agendas, therapies and nothing to coordinate, the theme is, "whenever, whatever" (guess what movie that came from?). We are traveling over 1/2 way tomorrow and will have fun along the way, and then meet up with some friends tomorrow evening probably at the motel for some swimming. Just rest and relaxation baby. We do have one appointment to keep on Thursday to see Dr. Dan, which is the purpose of the trip. I'm so excited for this appointment, he doesn't know that Jeremy has been taking steps with his walker, I'm taking the walker on the trip and hope he will show off his new tricks. We of course have to go visit all of our friends at the University of Missouri, Children's Hospital. Then that evening we will meet up with some more friends at the motel for swimming, and good times. I'm taking my camera and plan to actually take pictures this trip and will post next week.
