Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

Negative test results....

Bob's stomach wound culture results were negative. Woo-hoo! Now, a CT scan has been ordered of his stomach to see if there is anything going on inside his abdomen that the nurses can't see. The monthly CT Scan of his head is scheduled for the same day. Keep in your prayers, again, that there is no retention of extra fluid on his brain.

Bob walked without his walker very quickly today during his physical therapy session, and without any assistance, I might add. However, I got the "dirty " looks from Bob when I suggest we donate his wheelchair, because he doesn't need it anymore. The physical therapist said that Bob's balance test improved from a score of 15 out of thirty to 28/30.
