In the process of trying to get dad's bowels on a schedule as part of "therapy" he was given a suppository last night around 9pm. Well he is now and continuing to have bowel movements every 30-45 minutes. He also has a hemorrhoid now and all of it together is making him not feel good at all. He also wasn't able to do physical therapy today.
Dad was suppose to go out into the "real world" and work on getting in and out of a car with his wheelchair, in and out of places, etc. Now because of the situation above, he is not able to attend this important outing. It is all such a disappointment.
Please pray that things will regulate themselves out and we can get back to making progress and can start feeling better. We need a quick turn around so that dad can get back to things. He is making progress everyday and all his therapist are thrilled at how well he is doing. He only has until the 18th and then he has to move onto the Skilled Nursing Facility.
Added note, mom and I went and looked at 2 yesterday afternoon. We really liked one (and as an added plus it is walking distance from my [Elizabeth] house) and we didn't like another. We have heard good things about a place in Webster which will put mom day to day closer to MeeMaw, we are hoping to look there tomorrow afternoon. Also mom is going tomorrow morning to take MeeMaw to her Dr. We aren't sure if there is anything he can do, but it is worth a try....please pray for that visit.
Thanks again for all the prayers and support. We have been at this new life for almost 3 months now and it is amazing and a huge blessing to still see that we continue to have support. Thank you so much!!! God Bless!!

That support somehow always shows up when you really need it! Your mom said to me tonight that she had to find a way to repay me for all of my help and I reminded her that she spent weeks nursing me back to health in 1975 when I nearly died and it was my turn to pay back not hers.
God is good.
