The Living Room
Today John's brother was here to visit. John got to show him how he works his computer among many other things. We used a floor lift today to get John from the bed to his chair. This is in preparation for spending a night in the "living room". It is a special room in GF Strong that is like having an overnight pass to see how we do on our own. Normally there is no nursing care but they have made an exception for us as we will have to have help to get John out of his and and into bed and vice versa. We hope to try this situation out next week. There is no ceiling lift in this room so they use a floor lift and I did not want to be confronted with it for the first time when we are there. Pray that we will use our time wisely to do the tasks that need to be done at present and not get ahead of ourselves.

This must all be very exciting for you, the prospect of a life together without the continual presence of medical staff. And a hockey game too!
ReplyDeleteI pray that God will bless you with the ability to quickly learn all that you need to in preparation for your homecoming. And I pray that God will also bless you with good health.
This will be the beginning of many test, one of faith, one of bravery and one of confidence..
ReplyDeleteIt is good that GF Strong has a living room in which you can practise being on your on own to prepare for coming home.
It will be good to be together alone and still have the staff close by incase they are needed for anything. It is a huge step for you; we are excited and we pray God will be with you guiding you all the way...
