"WOW"

Physical therapy is moving along well. The occupational therapist really wants Mr. Steve to progress. Today he added another half hour. He is finding out that Steve is tired by the time he gets him in the afternoon, so he wants the nurses to have him take a nap between sessions so that he is able to be productive during his time. He is working on a lot of a areas. Today he worked on stretching out his left shoulder. It is out of the socket and causes a lot of pain for Steve when he is trying to get his arm/wrist moving. Tomorrow they will fit him for an elastic brace to support the shoulder but not hinder the movement of the arm/wrist. Ken is also working on stretching out his neck. He is not able to hold his up straight. When he moved his neck around all Steve said was, "WOW". I guess he was being one of those "stiff-necked" people the Bible talks about.

Steve still does not open his eyes as often as he should. It would be nice if he would. We (Ken and I) would like to evaluate how much he does see and what he sees.

Steve did not have oxygen on during the day again today. His pulse/ox numbers were a little higher today then yesterday. That shows us that his body is getting stronger. When the numbers drop - I say "take a deep breath, hun". He does and that brings up the numbers.
This is another good sign.

It was great to be back to work today. The ladies I have the privilege to work with are great!
I know they love me and are supporting me with their prayers. I really thank the Lord for enabling me to jump back into preschool mode. I did a pretty good job of remembering things after being gone for 5 weeks.

Tomorrow I hand back the keyboard to Kimberly who you all love.
