Friday

For those who read everyday, sorry for not posting yesterday. It wasn't due to anything being wrong. I had intended to post after we watched a movie, but fell asleep during the movie.

We had a busy day yesterday. Randy's mom had to go back to Yakima Thursday night so I took Friday off to be with Randy and Cass, who didn't have school. Randy had all three therapies so I finally got to meet his outpatient therapists. They all said they have seen great improvments in him. Hi physical therapist said she thinks that once he starts the pool therapy, which will be this next Monday, his balance should greatly improve and he might be able to stop using the cane within the couple of weeks. He currently is able to go short distances without it, but still definitely needs it for uneven surfaces.

In occupational therapy, his therapist went over the results of how Randy did in the driving simulator test. His reaction times were great ~ even better than the average. However, he didn't do as well with the signs, which required him to have to quickly make a decision.

After we finished with the therapies, we headed to Ikea. For those who aren't familiar with Ikea, it is a huge store filled with stuff for your home. They have everything from silverware, to furniture, stuff to organize your stuff with, and even flooring. We spent a long time there, walking through the entire store and ended up getting a few things to help organize some of our stuff.

After Ikea, we headed to our chiropractor because I had had a headache for the last couple of days. While I was there, he also worked with my sciatic nerve. It feels so much better today. He also talked to us about Randy getting adjusted. I was a little concerned because of the fracture Randy had that was close to the brain stem. He assured me that he wouldn't do anything that would harm Randy. They took x-rays and they said that Randy's fracture had healed up incredibly well. So I agreed to allow him to give Randy a minor adjustment. All evening and then this morning, Randy has talked about how much better he feels now. Our chiropractor and his wife, who is also a chiropractor (they run the business together), are such great people. He even called later in the evening to see how Randy was doing with the adjustment.

After the chiropractor, Randy went out to dinner with his friend Jon while Cass and I hung out at home playing games.

It was a very full day!
