I am amazed how one day just rolls into the next and all of a sudden I hear people saying it's Friday and what they are doing on the weekend. The physio girls say "See you Monday" and here we are left for 2 long days to fend for ourselves. I feel so bad that Gord misses out on getting to sit up for those 2 days. Interesting that they cannot have staff 7 days a week. I am now seeing just how sad our medical system is.
I missed writing yesterday as I did not get home until late and was too tired to even think. I just could not leave Gord last night tethered to his bed. It is such a cruel thing to do to a person who only has one hand to scratch their nose with! And to further the agony he can't even call out for help! It is just so difficult to watch. I am rushing to get back this morning to untie him! I am even thinking of staying with him overnight just so he doesn't have to be going through this.
On Friday I was flossing Gord's teeth and he pushed my hand away...I said "Is that enough?" and he said a very definite YES. So I have witnessed it myself and can happily report the good news. He also was encouraged to actually stand with 4 people supporting him - very wobbly but he did try very hard. It was an accomplishment for sure.
He is really responding to visitors now so please feel free to visit.
See you soon,
Love
Sheila

Hi Sheila
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned in a orevious comment; having this Blog to get continuous updates on Gord's progress is absolutely wonderfull. It's just amazing to review the progress over the course of a few days from the Lows to the Highs, but as you well know by now it's all progressing in a positive direction. We've all been told "have Patience" things don't haooen overnight yet looking at your daily comments there have been daily changes. Linda and I are happy for you that things are slowly looking more positive. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sheila,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing Gordy's progress with us. Ralph and I are praying daily for him and we have also placed him on our prayer list at our Hawaiian Church here in Makena.
So glad you are feeling better...
