Thank you for just being there and just being you!
Anne had another good day with no major issues. Also, she showered herself and got dressed without help today! Independence is coming!
Jim, Anne and I were talking at breakfast this morning and concluded that if it weren't for her siblings and I she'd still be in a rehab center! NOT a scenario either of us want.
As for the nerve thing, I wasn't there to talk to the doctor and ask how bad it was. But my boss as in a horrific auto accident in December of '09 and it mangled his right arm pretty badly. It took 7 months to get movement to his hand. Now it moves pretty well. This from the the complete lack of movement he started out with!
Today he was telling me that his physical therapist (hand specialist) kept reminding him to think about moving his hand. Because, even if it seems like it's not moving, every time you think to move it your brain sends the signal down that path. And every time it hits a dead end the body adds on to the route in an effort to get the signal where it's supposed to go! Bless us all and the miracle of out human bodies.
Tomorrow Justus and Heather are bringing the boys over for dinner I promised them that we could play another "jam session" and they're really excited about that! Last time, James started off with the drum beat from Queen's "We Will Rock You". I put Logan on the Boom Whackers (tuned tubes) and I played bass. Then they switched places and we kept the beat going until it was time for them to go home.
Yes, there will be music in the house tomorrow!
