Here is how our weekend went....sunshine...ice....warm winds....and Maui attire. It felt good. The young man sitting with Gord is Darren, his son. The woman sitting with him is ME...and rarely do I let photos of myself hit the public's eyes! The room with the Maui quilt on the bed is where Gord's stays at the Halvor Jonson Center.
Today we had a consultation with Dr. Gray and the physiotherapist and it was concluded that Gord's right foot and leg will receive botox treatment. His toes are curling up due to some thing I totally do not understand but the botox will relax his muscles and hopefully keep his toes straightened out so he can walk more efficiently. We got a tiny bit of movement in his right arm and the team concurred that there seems to be some muscle tone building up.
We had a down evening on Sunday and today I am a bit saddened because Gord seemed to be losing his fighting spirit. I spent a few hours last night trying to convince him he is going to be okay and we really need to see that spirit come alive again. He was a bit happier today but I am wiped out.....hopefully I can find my fighting spirit again.
I am going to make a trip to Maui to sort out our life there and try to get a grip on what I need to do with our unit there. I will be there June 9-18th so if there are any willing and able bodies around Kihei to help me out while I am there please let me know. My email is sheilabosch@hotmail.com
I hear there are some folks from the canoe club that may be able to help me. I am not sure what I can get done but even helping me pick up toilets/vanities etc. from Home depot etc.
My son Geoff is there right now and is looking at getting the wiring done. We still need to drywall and plaster the ceilings etc. The kitchen cabinets are sitting waiting to be installed and the appliances are floating around somewhere between Sears and the boat that brought them over.
Be well everyone!
Love
Sheila
Dear Gord and Sheila,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos - they are always wonderful and help us to be in touch with what is going on. It is always good to see your sweet faces!
It is wonderful to see the quilt on Gord's bed that Judy so lovingly organized and created, and that Peter hand carried "home". It is a special reminder of how many people out there love and support you both through this journey of life.
Good luck on your adventures to Maui - I am sure there are many who are willing and able to help. I know Ken had alot of offers from many members of the Canoe Club while we were still in Maui. There is alot of talent there.
Take care - lots of love - S & K
