Today we had some ups and downs

I'll start with the downs...he is starting to get a few bed sores. They were caught quickly and are being treated. He needs a little more fat on his bones, and yes i feed him lol

I finally contacted his work comp company, it won't be untill tomorrow afternoon untill they decide if they are going to approve his transfer to Houston.

Today's ups. As soon as work comp approves his transfer the hospital will transfer him that day or the next day and a room is available when he is approved.

When the neuro dr was in this morning, Wayne told him he had a little feeling in his groin area. 😁

He has not been eating much. At lunch I asked him why he wasn't eating, was it his appetite or was it disgusting. He said disgusting. I asked him if he wanted me to go get him mashed potatoes and mac n cheese from somewhere, he said yes please and an apple fritter and milkshake. So off to town I went! After a few wrong turns and my gps scolding me lol I made it to KFC. After KFC was Whataburger for a chocolate shake. He ate and drank the most I have seen since the accident.

He has also been begging to go outside. Dr orders to physical therapy were to get him in a wheelchair and get him outside. He accomplished it!!! With a little bit of help from physical therapy, using his arms he scooted himself onto the transfer board and onto the chair. We got to joy ride around the hospital and outside for 30 minutes! I felt like a kid being let out for recess! When we got back with the help of the nurses he transferred himself back in bed.

Another order from the Dr is to take the clam shell cast off and let his body breath. The only way he is allowed to do this is if he lays flat or at most a 30 degree angle. He spent close an hour today propped on his side without the clam shell. Tonight he wants to try to sleep without it.

I want to thank everyone for all the calls and texts and comments, they are lifting our spirits and helping us through this chapter of our life. Please pray for continued healing and comfort. We can feel yalls prayers coming our way. GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!
