Randy's parents were kind enough to take him to see the spine doctor on Monday(I had work). They said Randy's spine is healing so well that he doesn't need to wear his brace anymore. He was so excited he texted me right away. The doctor said he may need surgery down the road. But for now all is well.
Today I took Randy to see Dr. Higgins. He told us that his pelvis is healing well. His feet are also doing well. He is not to bear any weight yet, but he can start to do some walking in a pool of chest deep water. This will help to slow down the atrophy in his legs so he can be strong enough when the time comes to stand.
Randy called his friend Mr. A who manages a hotel. He gave us permission to use the pool. How sweet is that? It should be less crowded than other pools, and it will be free. Such a wonderful blessing. We are all excited to start this therapy. This means we are on step two of healing. Yippee!
Our bishop and stake president came over to visit tonight as well. The bishop gave us a generous donation from an anonymous person. I just can't say thank you enough. We had an enjoyable time talking with them. President Hall left us with a word of prayer. We are very blessed to have so many wonderful supporters.
That is wonderful news! I am glad that he is healing well. I bet that he is so excited to get into the pool and move around on his own. I hope that it goes well.
