Last week I wrote that Joe and I both saw Lynn move his left foot several times. When he went to therapy this week, however, he could not repeat this for her. Did he move it? We believe he did. We'll keep you posted on this.
On the up side this week I can report progress on the bowel and bladder front. Lynn started to take a probiotic once a day (this is the bacteria you find in Activia for an example) and a super enzyme at every meal. This has really aided digestion and cut down on some of the problems Lynn was having. He has a ways to go but this week was a positive step in the right direction.
Lynn is also beginning to take steps to get back behind the wheel again and achieve some personal independence. He contacted a broker who will look for a buyer for his Mazda pickup. Saturday I cleaned out the bed of the truck and vacummed the inside. We plan to go and look at used trucks this coming weekend to see which ones, if any, he feels he could transfer into. We have our eyes on Ford Rangers.
Your prayers keep us going even when we get shot down. Thank you for your persistence! Nancy
PS The Gospel at Mass this week was about the persistent widow. It is becoming my favorite!
Glad to hear things are looking up in the bowel department and the search for a truck is on. We really appreciate you continuing to blog so that we can follow Lynn's progress. Next week we will head down to Tucson for the winter but will keep you both in our thoughts,
