Our last few days with the girls were great! Maddie and Kenzie went to Brian's therapies on Friday. In PT, the therapists attached a red laser to a head contraption. Using a bullseye picture in front of him, Brian tried to get the laser in the bullseye by moving his head.
In tech lab, Brian was introduced to a voice activated computer program called Dragon. He had better luck using this program than on his cell phone.
Brian continues to work hard on the diaphragm pacing. He's making small improvements and we are thankful for that! Brian has such determination to do well with pacing...it's A LOT of hard work and wears him out.
The girls went back to St. Louis Sunday morning. Brian and I were very sad to see them go (LOTS and LOTS of tears), but we know they will have fun at their camps back home over the next few weeks. They definitely brought a new energy that revitalized our spirits. It was so nice having meals with them, playing countless games of Uno, and watching them interact with their dad. Just hearing them laugh (and bicker) were things we've missed. Plans for their return are in the works depending on Brian's discharge date.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
Love all of these pictures!! I can see your renewed energy over the last week or so. Keep all of that energy and successes going!
