The First Few Weeks

9/15/18

The first few weeks have been good.  We are quickly establishing a routine for morning and evening transfers.  The medication schedule is working well...minus the time I accidentally took a Sudafed instead of giving it to Brian.  Sleep deprivation can do these things to you...lol

We have been out and about to four different doctor's appointments and a trip to Joey B's.  We are renting a vehicle for each outing and hope to purchase our own very soon.  It's not too fun being stuck at home, but luckily we've enjoyed great weather outside!

Being in the comforts of home have been wonderful, but also hard for Brian.  I think he's understanding the realization of his situation and the things he can no longer do like yard work, errands, petting the dog...all the little things we take for granted.  We work through the down days and focus on the good.  Brian can navigate the computer, phone, TV, lights through voice activation.  It allows him independence to do things on his own.

Brian's health has been good, which is a HUGE blessing!  Blood pressure can still be tricky, but manageable.  His breathing has been better with the humidity of St. Louis.  Who would've thought we would look forward to humid days?

Thank you for your continued love and support through this journey.  It's great to know we have an army of supporters behind us.
