A bed at Good Sam is opening up today, so we are leaving Harborview today at 3 pm. I am so excited to get to start this next phase and Randy is so ready!
He had a bit of a tough night last night. When he had the bacteria infection, they stopped his stool softener and they never started it back up again. With eating solid foods, it created a bit of an issue. They finally gave him something last night to help, but he spent the night having to go to the bathroom constantly. He also had issues with his bladder throughout the night. Per the scans, it was completely full but he felt no urge to go. They were going to put the catheter back in, but decided to wait to see how he did in the morning. Then, this morning, he was finally able to go but wasn't emptying out his bladder, so they again talked of putting the catheter back in. So Randy started asking for liquids again and he was able to empty it out. So no catheter. All it takes is them talking about them putting it back in and he gets to work on going.

Rachel,
First I want to say how great it is to hear how well Randy is doing. I will try to get up to see you all on Sunday.
Second, can you post the address to Good Sam so that we can map it and come visit? thanks.

God continues to perform miracles daily. Praying for improvement and strength to endure the setbacks and bumps in the road. Remember little changes can provoke big bumps. The move to Good Sam is a giant change. Praying the reaction will be small bumps and rapid improvement. With God's help you will be able to overcome. We pray for you daily and more.
Remember to pace yourself. You and Marsha have limits too. May God lift you ... physically and spiritually and emotionally.
GOD IS GREAT!
Believe
