#34 Update, April 27th

Paul and I started our at home training today with the occupational therapist. We need to have between 5-10 hour sessions in the next 2 weeks and an overnight stay to see how to take care of Sean so he and we are safe. We don't have a date for his coming home as of yet but it could be soon. It went very well today and he is excited to work with us because it means he is getting closer to coming home to his California King bed instead of the hospital size bed he has been in since January. This Friday he will have been at Spalding Rehab Hospital for 50 days which doesn't seem possible. He has come a long way in such a short time. Thank you everyone for continuing to pray for him and supporting us with warm wishes and thoughts. We have another challenge right now I have a blood clot (DVT) in my upper left arm from when a box fell on me just over a month ago, they found it last week. The challenge is my arms are weaker than normal but I will be going to therapy soon for strengthening them so that won't be a problem. The good news is they took enough blood before I started the blood thinners that if my side of the family has a gene that is causing this we will be able to identify it and it may mean Sean won't have to be on coumaden for the rest of his life. They couldn't determine why Sean had all the blood clots he had because they gave him Heprin the blood thinner right away and that modified the test results. He has good days & bad as expected but he is moving forward. We are so excited that he is getting stronger and better with each passing day.
