Wow!  It's Tuesday of a new week!  Where does the time go??? 

It's still pretty quiet....Terry's not talking much.  William is still taking him on walks.  And yesterday Terry "walked" from the living room to the bedroom in his wheelchair.  I took a video of them.  William is so patient with him.  He moved his feet all the way!

Today they took a very long walk!  Pictures soon.

Terry is in his recliner watching tv with his favorite son!  William got here Sunday evening!  The time is flying by!  But, he has decided to move in with us to help with his Dad.  All of us are thrilled!  He'll go back to Colorado May 1 and work a week or so, pack up and move here. 

Terry hasn't been very talkative this week like he was last weekend.  (Did I even blog about that?)  He seems really tired.    William and the physical therapist helped him walk twice yesterday!  Just a few steps, but he actually moved his feet, himself!  Then William took him for a walk around the block.  Wish I had taken a picture.  He was so cute, wearing his hat and wrapped up in a blanket.  I think William talked to him or rather with him the whole way.  He told me Terry responded to his questions.  I'm sure he's so happy to have William here. 

And with William here I'm not having to put him in the lift every time because William can lift him and pivot to the wheel chair.  (I help a little)  I'm so thankful!

Terry's feeling much better today!  He's had a busy day...the nurse took some blood, the aid bathed him, then physical therapy came to work with me getting him up and down in the lift. 

After everyone left I took him outside for a few minutes and let him soak up a little sun.  He really seem to enjoy being out there, looking around, watching cars come and go.  He didn't say a word the entire time.  But he also didn't fall asleep!

When I brought him in I took him to the living room in his wheelchair.  But I just feel so bad for him sitting in it.  I'm sure it's not very comfortable.  So I dragged the lift into the living room and transferred him from the wheelchair into his recliner!  Got his legs up, a pillow behind his head and he took a nice long nap.  He's been awake for a while, now, watching tv and eating supper.  It's so nice to have him in the living room and know he's comfortable and not have to watch to make sure he doesn't fall out of the chair.

All in all, a very nice day!

Terry hasn't felt well today, he's hardly moved all day.  He's eating fine, but won't use his hand to hold anything, not his cup or food.  He had a fever last night and again tonight.  The dr. called in an antibiotic for him and we started it this evening.  I sure hope it helps.  Hopefully, he'll feel better tomorrow and I'll get him up again.

It's been a very quiet day.  Terry sat in the living room for a couple of hours, had his favorite....a hot dog for lunch.  Just a restful day for both of us.
