Off to the rehab center tomorrow! Roger was going to go today but there was transportation issues so he gets one more day of "relaxation". Dad and Marcia came up last night. I stayed the night with him and once dad came in this morning he sent me home to shower and do some laundry. Marcia and Melissa came to visit and they were here when the rehab doctor spoke with Roger and gave him the news of rehab tomorrow morning.
The scan of his legs came back normal (no blood clots brewing in his legs) so he is ready to rock in roll!
I came back to the hospital around noon and got him all "suited up" to get up into the wheelchair (ace bandages around his legs so the blood doesn't rush to his feet which prevents him from passing out and some pants on). He did really awesome! He was even feeling so well that he wheeled himself into the bathroom and brushed his teeth and washed his face and hands in the sink. As far as transferring from the bed to the wheelchair, he is practically doing it himself. He is still working on his balance but I watch his legs and he moves his upper half... 30 seconds and he has moved himself into the wheelchair. It is absolutely amazing to see his progress everyday!
Thank you for reading this blog everyday and following Roger's journey. He really does appreciate the love, support, and prayers he is getting! I truly believe they are helping! We had a good talk yesterday and I told him I admire his strength and courage, and reminded him that God has a plan for us all and even though the reason isn't apparent and that this isn't fair, there is a meaning and purpose for him to still be with us today. Much love to you all!
