Day Forty

Day 40 (5/21/18)

Today was a busy one.  Brian started out at OT.  We walked around the block with the therapist to see nearby stores and restaurants. We now have an "off-campus" pass that allows us to travel outside of Craig.  Brian can go to the apartments (located next to Craig) where the girls might be staying while they're here.  It will be nice to get him out of the hospital setting.

After OT, we headed back to the Tech Lab.  The therapist is trying to get Brian's phone to respond to voice activation from him.  

Back to the Wheelchair Clinic for two hours so Brian could get into a different wheelchair.  I'm hoping this one will work well for him.

Brian had to get an echocardiogram (procedure prior to diaphragm pacer surgery) so he missed Physical Therapy.

The day ended in the Upper Extremities Room where Brian's arm was moved by a machine programmed to give him full range of motion.  

Thank you for your continued prayers and support!

  2. Hi Guys,
    I bet Brian loved getting out and about to see what is available and now to have a pass. What a treat!

    Wednesday is going to be a Big Day for sure. One more day and you'll have the Best Visitors in the World. I asked Doe if the girls had their bags packed and at the back door yet. I know they are so anxious to get to Denver. I hope you have a wonderful time.

    We are praying that you have a successful surgery tomorrow and we continually pray for God to keep his hand over you. You and Julie stay strong, keep your faith strong and know, GOD is with you in all things because HE loves you.

    We love you too.
