Maybe Lynn did a little too much yesterday. His back pain flared up so they decided to give him a day off of PT. Again some problem solving was involved because his lower back pain seems to involve his neck muscles and how much he uses them to do certain exercises and activities. As an example he moved his eating surface way up and that really helped him while he was in his wheelchair. I love the way they tackle barriers to wellness in this place!
Another first today was to do his own grooming at the sink.
Maybe the big news is that Lynn is getting more and more feeling back between his waist and his knees. This gives us hope that in time it may extend down to his feet and toes. His team members rally us each day to say never give up hope. We really have come to have much confidence in this place. They are amazing.
Finally, Lynn moved rooms today so he can have more privacy. He is now in room 582.
Thank you for all the cards, emails, visits and verbal support. His spirits remain steady and hopeful. God bless! Nancy
Wow Lynn, great strides, glad you got a reprieve today to change the routine. Saw Joe at the Jamboree meeting tonight and got my BIG HUG! What a wonderful kid. I am so very proud of him. Reminding you friend that I am with you daily in special prayer, especially daily Mass.
