STILL WAITING.......

Ron is scheduled to have his catheter placed tomorrow. We had hoped on it being done today...but there were a few serious cases that came up so he should have it done tomorrow.
The surgeon who needs to take a look at his wound came by today while we were down in the cafeteria...he said he would just come by again tomorrow...but of course...we are never given a time ....so if he happens to come when Ron is having his procedure done...I don't know if it will get pushed to another day.
We still have not seen the plastic surgeon that Dr. Smith also wanted to have a look at the wound .

Ron did some more walking today. Physical therapy came by and walked him out in the hall.
He walked using the walker and I pushed his wheelchair behind him. He walked down the full length of a short hallway ...turned around and walked back half way before he had to sit and take a break. He then finished the rest of the way back to the doorway of his room. He did really well today. The physical therapist is very pleased with his progress.
I can now help him stand from a sitting position on the bed and support him as he shuffles over to sit in his wheelchair.
As well as he is progressing...if I could just get him to a rehab facility ...he would be back to full strength in no time.
We just need to get the wound issue taken care of once and for all and get him started on his photopheresis treatment and we can be home free.

Easter Sunday went well for us. We enjoyed our time with Thomas and the family.
Thomas enjoyed his Easter bag of goodies....books and puzzles and a few treats.
He received the book about the story of Easter. I look forward to reading it to him for years to come.

God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect. Psalm 18:32
