We survived our first outing to the Rockies game. Began in a hail storm, game delayed an hour, and chilly temps, but we made it nonetheless! Brian sure was excited to get off the hospital grounds. He enjoyed his nachos and funnel cake too. :) My nerves settled down once we navigated through the crowd to our seats. It was a long outing (7 hours) and we got to bed around midnight, which made today a little tougher due to fatigue.
Brian did the diaphragm pacer 3 different times today. It really wears him out, but such a trooper! Brian started out with upper extremities. Then, he had PT where his therapist worked on stretching his legs and neck. Brian has swelling in his hands, so he received an hour of edema therapy. Fortunately, he caught a little catnap during that session.
The girls were with us during his afternoon therapies and it was fun to have them with us! They are the BEST medicine!
I am so glad the outing was a success! I have to say the last photo you posted is actually my favorite with your daughters walking beside their father, and looks like Brian is operating the chair by himself??! have the final tweaks been made?!
ReplyDeleteThe Heine Family together and STRONG! You guys are so inspiring and we are so happy you are having fun together. Happiness is Healing and is the Best Medicine.
ReplyDeleteBrian you are such a trooper as Julie says. Your hard work is paying off. We are praying for you daily and Thank GOD for your progress. We love all of you.
What a great day. It is great to see the girls with Brian and you all together as a family. Praying everyday. Keep fighting :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the family made it to the game. Wish the weather would have cooperated but Mother Nature can be unpredictable. I see MacKenzie got into the day with her Rockies top! Hard to believe the girls have been there a week now. How wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteAs always, thanks for the updates Julie.
I hope the balance of the week is good. Keep pushing Brian!
That is so great that all of you got to go to the baseball game. I know Brian loves baseball, so even though the weather was not the best I am sure he enjoyed being at the game. The picture of all of you at the Rockies stadium is priceless. Continued prayers and hugs for all of you.
