9th floor excursion

Tonight, Ron and I took a little excursion...we walked to the elevator and then took it up to the 9th floor (Hotel Presby) where he then walked all the way to my room. It was fun for him to see my "home away from home". Quite a little hike, but he was able to rest for awhile in my room while we looked over flooring and carpet samples, before making the trip back to his room. It was a little comical and a bit of a reality check once we reached the 9th floor, which has carpet. My job of pushing the IV pole became a challenge. The wheels kept wanting to stick thus threatening to tip the pole over! But, we conquered!

The last couple of days Ron has walked about 600 feet and has taken care of quite a bit of business...working on the computer and making phone calls, probably about 4 hours yesterday and 2-3 today. He's enjoying being part of the real world, again! And of course he has PT and/or OT each day, so his days are quite busy when you add sitting up in chair (2 1/2 hours yesterday!), bathing & grooming, plus naps in between.

He should be going down to Interventional Radiology in the next few days but haven't heard when it will be.

On another note, we got a phone call from a detective with Tarrant County informing us they had recovered the items that were stolen from Aaron's truck...which was mainly paperwork. He said the guy was "bad news" when they made a raid on the guy's place he was hiding in the bathtub with a loaded 45. He encouraged us to contact all the main credit reporting companies because this guy has several offenses against him already for identity theft. Please pray with us that nothing like this has happened with our credit.

Good night! And thanks for your continued support!

Love, Christie & family
