Yesterday was a mixed bag - from my point of view it went fairly well as the meds seemed to click in when they should and John got all his feedings. From John's point of view, his mouth seemed to really be producing a lot of saliva and phlegm and he found it quite distracting.
Today was much better. John has had the best day he has had in a long time. When my Mom passed away we kept her power wheel chair and John used to use it to go out to the back fields at Gateway for BBQ's etc. However he has not used it since we moved here. Today he took it out and we went for a nice outing in the nearby park. We enjoyed it very much. The weather was wonderful. When we got back he decided that I should ride on his knee into the garage. Of course one of our neighbours came out right at that point and gave us a very astonished look!
John's voice has been much stronger today too - usually he rings a bell to call me whenever he needs anything and today he has been able to just call for me.
All and all a very good day. Definitely two thumbs up.
The thing I find I now have to guard against is hoping that this means there is an improvement. Instead, I have to remind myself that there are good days and bad days and just be thankful for the good ones.
Saturday is our 45th Wedding Anniversary. Would you please pray that he will have a good day that day. Although we can't celebrate with the usual things like dinner our etc. it would be great if we could make another trip to the park!
Thanks
