Not much to really report other then dad is working really hard in his Therapies and has gone over a week now without any bathroom accidents.
Mom and him went to TIRR yesterday and he was fitted for his new wheelchair. It is only 20 lbs which is great for mom...Praise God! It will take about 2 months they said until he gets the wheelchair because apparently different parts are made all around the US. Oh yeah...it's also Red! Dad was excited about it. hehe
MeeMaw has good and not so good moments. She is back at the Hearthstone with AMED Home Health Care and they just started her back on some therapies, monitoring pain still, etc. One minute she can be talking fine, the next unable to understand her. She is with help getting into her chair some, although has fallen out of it. She was able to dial my phone number last night and call...we talked for about 10 minutes and she was able to admit that she is okay some times and not others and she never knows when it is going to be a good moment. She is a fighter that is for sure!
Mom was REALLY sick this past week. Thankfully she was able to get on some antibiotics and after a few days started feeling better. Please keep her in your prayers as her knees and hips are giving her SO!!!!!!!!! much pain. Some days she can hardly take one step in front of the other. We need God's healing touch on her because I am concerned she is going down the road to needing replacements.
Thanks again for keeping the family in your prayers. I know this has been a long road to travel and that faithful support, prayers and God's hand on us has kept us going. God's Blessing!

Please ask your mom's doc to check her blood sugar levels. Incredible fatigue and muscle and joint pain are all symptoms of elevated blood sugars which are common in persons over 50 with auti-immune disorders and high stress levels. I know. I've been there. Get the blood sugars under control and the pain and fatigue can also be brought under control.
