Timothy had a great day. He started using his right arm a lot more--ate most of his lunch with it. He kept saying, "I wish Brooke could see me. This is all because of her." He is so very pleased that it is not paining him very much, and he is able to use it. The PT therapist found a better wheelchair match for him so it is more comfortable. I went to Alltel and got him a cell phone. Luckily he had insurance which I didn't know so it is just like his old phone the same number and everything. I did block text messaging for now. He can add that later. Didn't think he could deal with that yet. He is just like a kid with a new toy. Another great thing--a guy came with a saw and cut a slot out of his Halo vest so it doesn't ride on his stomach peg line. I wish I'd known they could do that. He is so much more comfortable now. The peg line can't come out until the leg surgery is completed next Tuesday.
After his last therapy, he and I took a stroll around the building outdoors. He has been taken out before, but this is the first time that I felt he really enjoyed it.
He is talking about , when I get the leg fixed, when I get home, and when I get back to work. He is definitely looking forward.
