doing more each day

Here is the latest pictures of his legs.  His scars are healing up quite nicely.  His right ankle 'hurts' all of the time.  He wraps it in it's own blanket and calls it a burrito.  I have been making him do more for himself each day.  See his reacher pole in the picture?  He has started to 'need' it.  He doesn't complain, but I know he wishes I would do more.  But it is for his own good.
Tanner's teacher called me yesterday.  She said he just sits there and doesn't finish his work.  I know that last week he was putting dad on every thing at school.  Poor Tanner is so worried about dad.
Last night was Jordan Dredge's wedding.  I had a work meeting, Karly had dance, Austen had work.  So Dan came and took Randy and boys to it.  I was able to show up for the last ten minutes.  It was our first outing that wasn't medical.  I had a great time.  Randy lasted about 45 minutes before his discomfort got the better of him.

The Shelton's van is fixed.  My mom told her hairdresser and friend Sue.  Sue told her husband, who told an old work friend, who happened to be my brother's neighbor that we borrowed the first van from.  Any rate, they fixed her lift and door.  I lent her the saturn for the two days it took to fix it.  And then drove her to pick it up.  So good for her.  Randy has found our van to be more comfortable for him now that he can move a bit more.  Still not using his feet, but he can scoot into the floor of the van and then onto a seat.
What a small world!  Thank you everyone for your help and concern.

I am selling Randy's saturn.  He can't drive for a while, plus it sits too low for him even when he gets 'better'.  With a broken pelvis and spine it will be too difficult.  I plan to buy a mid sized car to replace it with.  I will drive the mid-sized car instead of the van to save on gas.  We will hold on to the van because that is the only thing Randy can get into for now.  Let me know if your interested in purchasing it.  I have it posted on ksl Ad:  # 4098434
