Wow, finally we remembered to post on Sunday like we are supposed to! The past week has been one of progress again! Jeremy went to see his Neuro-surgeon and was cleared for everything. This time they even gave him his walking sticks (as he calls them). He is able to "do" stairs (somewhat) and walk around the house with the aid of these arm crutches. He finds that it really tires him out, but he's determined to continue to improve and gain more and more strength as each day passes! Because the VA isn't impressed with him going up and down the stairs on his butt, they have ordered him a "stair chair" that will be installed in his apartment in the next couple of weeks. This next week, he will start working on getting his hand controls on his truck--that will really give him his independence!! He has to go through the VA for that too, and as we all know, the government works at a different pace than most of us--although they have been really great to work with so far!
For Ron, things have also improved. He has been pain free for the past 3 days, and the message on the phone says his blood work came back good, so we are hoping that things are turning around for him. He will try going back to work this week--to drive bus anyway and then work slowly into milking cows again. Zach has been doing the milking and Josh Haller has been doing the other chores, and that has been a life saver for all of us. As usual, friends and family have come through for us again. We are truly blessed!
Have a good week! Carm
