Things Are Going Well

I was a little nervous about getting sleep now that Jeremy is home, but last night went really well. I only needed to help him rearrange pillows three times and he didn't cath until 6:30 a.m. Ayden decided to sleep in until 7:30 too, so that helped. The bowel and bladder programs are running smoothly. It looks like he won't have to cath much longer.

Today's goal is to have him walk 1000 ft with the walker. We measured his usual routes from the bedroom to bathroom to kitchen and back so we can keep track. It's 6:00 and he has walked about 300 ft so far. We might be a little shy of the target today, but his new walker arrives Thursday. The one he ordered has four wheels and a seat and will be easier to walk with than the current loaner.

They reduced his Percoset(pain meds) from two every four hours to only one every four hours. It's good for him to start laying off the drugs, but his body isn't too happy about it. His appetite is coming back and he isn't battling nausea anymore.

All in all, everything is going great and the girls are being pretty good.
