May 13th........ Today started off quite uneventful for Scotty . His radiation was pushed back due to a malfunction and there were no visits from any of the "team doctors". AND then............PT arrives and tries to start his work-out and as he started sitting up the room began to spin. They decided to rest and let the room settle. Scotty was thinking this is new and I know I am not on a ride at Carowinds with Noah so I better stop.! Once things settled down he completed his sitting up and was able to stand again taking a few baby steps with the walker. One to the right, back to the middle, and one to the left. OT comes in and teaches him how to position his legs and roll to a sitting position on the side of the bed. Of course he has his brace on when doing therapy and he also receives an injection before PT or OT comes to help with the pain. Scotty was excited to report to me that he completed 2 workouts. He also has been doing his arm and leg work-outs in bed to help maintain strength. He did receive his radiation treatment. 7 down and 3 to go !
They have removed his antibiotic drip and have started giving his antibiotic by mouth. At this time he has no IV line and that he is thankful !
Mother's Day was quite relaxing for Deborah and Noah. Mom, Deborah and I went out for our traditional Mama - Daughter lunch while Jacob stayed with Noah. Later that day Deborah tackled the shrubbery which I am happy to report she did not scalp them too bad ! Ha ! Ha !
As I close tonight one of my favorite verses comes to mind I will share with each of you
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me........
Please continue to keep Scotty, Deborah, Noah and all of us in your prayers.....
