Today Greg's OT definitely earned the title Occupational "Terrorist." She had Greg lean on the table and get from his arms to his elbows to an upright position-imagine, if you will, especially if you went to boot camp, crawling in the dirt. Greg couldn't do it unassisted the first couple of times and then he just did it. He found a way to make his body do this in a new way...amazing!!!
The other incredible news is that we got the van. Tim, Greg's brother, did incredible leg work and educated us on what we needed. We were able to ask the man who held the van clinic to bring a certain kind of van-well it just happened to suit our needs perfectly and now it will be ours on Monday. this is huge-our freedom and mobility form the house. It is a black Dodge Caravan, gently used, with a brand new conversion.
I started packing up today-what a great feeling. we can't wait to get home. We know the challenges are great, but the thought of being in our own space to figure it out is comforting. Additionally, the the idea of peace and quiet is something we have both been craving. So, next Wednesday it is!
Greg you are truly amazing you will get the most out of this as you can. With your cheering section you will go even further
ReplyDeleteSo happy you were able to get a van so quickly.
