November 12- day 63

UPDATE- TUESDAY EVENING 11/13

I stayed home from the hospital today to get rest. While I was home resting Jeff was at the hospital working on his physical therapy. He sat on the side of the bed again and he stood three times. They wanted to sit him in a chair but he was not able to move after standing, but he stood! They took him off the reglan (a medicine used to stimulate the bowel muscles) and the milk of magnesia and his stomach and bowels still worked. They let him drink water and he was able to tolerate that. So today for the first time since September 13 he got to eat. He had jello, chicken broth, juice and a popsicle. He was able to tolerate that so he had a snack of applesauce. Things are looking up. I am so excited.

I made the decision to move. My church is going to organize the move. Our Children's Ministry Director is putting together information to go in our church bulletin to get volunteers. The retired ladies in our church have been itching to help us, so now they are going to be able to help us with packing and cleaning the new house before we move in and cleaning this house after we move out.
