Seeing Dr. T tomorrow

After looking at the discharge papers more closely, Mom realized seeing Dr. T on the 28th (formerly the 29th) was just not soon enough. A call to our nurse navigator, Chelsea, helped us score at date with the Dr. on Friday morning at 11:30. It will be good to share the questions we have regarding Les's inability to eat more than a bite or two and the pain in his stomach. We'll keep you posted on what we find out.

Les showed off today in PT by standing (with the assistance of some parallel bars) for about three minutes - two different times. Mom was very proud and I think he was too. He did verbalize what a long road ahead he'll have to get back the muscles and movement.

There were lots of visitors this week including a fraternity brother from California, a cousin from Delaware, and more than a dozen Rotarians for an early morning meeting. Thanks to all the friends and family that have taken time to show their support for Les. We appreciate you!

  3. Good for you Les! That's the best news we have had in quite a spell. It's always nice to have a goal and now that you can stand for 3 minutes, that just has to lead to four. Thanks to Nikki for all the updates. We pray everyday for you all.
