Wow, how time has flown by! I've done most of my updating on Facebook, and neglected my blog duties. That, and the fact that he is improving by leaps and bounds! We got approved for the Reclast, but it had to be done at the Cancer Institute. While there, we talked to Dr. Bendach about his weight loss and lack of appetite. He gave him Merinal. Essential, it is THC in pill form. SO, he has gained weight! Weight gain has made him stronger. The stronger he has gotten, has given him a will to get up and do something!! :)
Physical Therapy has gotten him up and he is walking very well with his walker. He still depends on his wheelchair for long distances and I think we both know that won't change. He has also come to the conclusion that the bike has to be sold. Whew. That was an answer to prayer. He just had to come to that one by himself. I knew the bike was his life, but I also knew he would never be strong enough or off enough pain medication to ride again.
Rebecca and the girls moved into their new home in November, so October and November kept us busy and running which was good for us both. Their house is beautiful and it is so good to see them all happy and in warm, safe, space!
Thanksgiving this year was truly a time of Thanksgiving. We didn't know throughout the summer and fall if he would be with us on Thanksgiving and he was!! :) With Christmas approaching so fast and the kids due in, in 2 weeks, we are full of anticipation. What I was dreading, is "beginning to look like Christmas."
