We are so excited! Dutch has lasted a whole week feeling real good and most of all, NO hospital visits!!! Praise The Lord!!
The doctors are again encouraging him to walk more, so they gave a prescription for a walker. The thinking is that if he has a walker, he will feel more secure when he walks. Just as we were looking into getting one, our dear friend Judy from church offered us her mother's walker just shortly after her mother passed (THANK YOU Judy!!) and not only her walker but her wheelchair as well. The walker works great and even has a seat on it so Dutch can sit and rest and not worry about venturing too far and not be able to make it back. We haven't used the wheelchair yet, but I know it will come in handy when we have to go on any errands. When we go to Costco of course, we use their motorised wheelchair, that I way I don't have to push him.
We still love to go down to the harbor to sit and to walk. Today it's a bit windy so we'll see. Last week we went for a blood test to check on his hemaglobin numbers. We see the doctor on Wednesday for the results. Of course I always have a copy sent to us, so I already know that he seems to be holding his own. Or at least he was when the test was taken.
In a week Niqua is coming out for a few days and we can't hardly wait. We were supposed to go to a retreat with our church while Niq is here, but I don't want to leave Dutch alone. If he's feeling good that day, we will perhaps go up for the day.
