Don had a pretty good day. He was really tired after the PT assessment. Kristi & I left for a couple of hours to gather some items for Don and his parents stayed with him. He wanted his pillow from home and we needed to get his TV from his shop so he would have something to watch. He also needed a clock so we brought his from home. The whole nursing home thing is very new for me. I don't know who is struggling more me or Don. Donnie Lee came by on his lunch hour along with Taylor and then he came by after work. Donnie Lee checked with the nurse on duty to find out if we could bring Ellie (our dog) to the home. They said it would be fine. Donnie came home and bathed Ellie and brought her back to the home. Don was so surprised and absolutely thrilled that Ellie was there. (Don claims Ellie as our third child). Ellie didn't quite know what to think and she was very cautious when Donnie Lee put her on Don's chest. It was like she knew something was wrong and was so careful. She eventually got comfortable enough to pull Don's hand towards her with her paw as he had quit petting her. She even made her way into his arm and tried to lay back like a baby - that's how Don usually holds her. She couldn't get comfortable enough so she eventually gave up on that. Don kept thanking Donnie all night for bringing her to see him. Don will have very busy day tomorrow and he was stressing a little over it. With the assessment of OT and the hour of PT, he is dreading it. We left about 9:00 as Don was very tired and ready for bed. As I said before, I don't have internet in his room so the daily updates may be after I get home at night. Thanks for all your continued prayers!
