Bob had another good day today, of course. He said a cute thing today. Today was hot fudge sunday afternoon. When he was done, I threw his trash away. It never fails, I missed the trash can. As I walked behind his wheelchair to pick up the trash, I gave him a hug. He said, "You may have missed the trash can, but you hit the target right in the center." Awwwww, how cute was that?
I also took a DQ milk shake and onion rings for a snack tonight. I think I made a friend forever! Bob knows that I could live on ice cream three meals a day if he'd let me. He told me tonight that he knows I sneak to DQ when he's at choir practice. (Crap, I thought I was getting that by him.)
In physical therapy, he's moving his legs more. I'm hoping he'll be standing soon. Bob really wants to stand too.
In speech therapy, he's able to read words, however, he's unable to come up with the word for a picture. For example, he can read star, but show him a picture of a star and he cannot think of the word for it. It'll come. He told me once today to wait a minute, he was digging for the answer in his brain. As a teacher, I've learned to wait a long moment for a student to give an answer; so, it's no problem for me to wait for two or three minutes for an answer from Bob.
Alanon slogan: One day at a time.
A prayer of healing and strength:
Dear God,
Use every event in my life, even my present circumstance, to work within me to bring healing of body, mind, soul, spirit, and relationship. In every way manifest your blessing in and through my life. Amen.
