I had been on another Criminal Minds marathon that Friday evening in the living room and as I was getting up to go to bed, a strange man was standing outside our bedroom. It took me a second to realize THAT'S MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had NOT seen him walk or stand in several days. He had this big ol' grin on his face and all I could do was jump and clap - his least favorite thing of mine I do :)
He was able to eat some yogurt AND walk around the house several times. And this just kept getting better throughout the weekend. I swear he's eating like a pregnant woman. One moment he's craving Chinese take out, then Dickey's BBQ, and the weirdest - IHOPS chicken fajita omelet with pancakes and strawberry topping. But I will go anywhere as long as he's eating. We decluttered his bedside with a new nightstand (bookshelf) that could hold all of his machines. Getting out of bed with 5 annoying machines, tubes coming out of all of them, was a little over-whelming for the Man. He's unsteady as it is, stepping over things should not be on his to do list. I also got him a Lazy Suzan for all of the things he uses regularly. This is my favorite. I like to spin it. I don't even mind that this gets on Graham's nerves, it entertains me.
Another mood stabilizer was also added to his colorful array of meds. Now, Graham may be sick, but he still is a Man. I was home for 4 days and decided to clean out all of the things he has been unable to keep up with. I not only found this new med, still in the Kroger Pharmacy Bag from over a month ago, but also his Flex Card from his Insurance, THAT HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED ONCE! So which med in particular is doing the magic? We don't know, it could be both, but we don't care. I have my Graham back, Jordan has her Daddy back, we have soooooo missed his smiles and jokes.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers and continued support - they have been answered again!
He's been cleaned up! Isn't he a STUD!!! |
YAY!!!!
