Great News!

   Sorry I just saw the last two posts didn't publish. I redid this one to get them in the correct order.

     A new and improved grandpa K! He got up to 45 degrees on the tilt table. He has gained weight, up to 200 lbs, a 10 pound gain. He is using his regular voice. He is doing the hokey pokey with his left foot. 

     They are talking about moving us tomorrow to St. Als rehab. Or we have to wait until next Monday because of the long weekend. They say we will be there 4 to 8 weeks and then we can go home! Yeah!  They would have him wheelchair ready. So he would be able to move from toilet to chair, to car, to chair to shower chair. We would continue therapy in La Grande. All those in favor say "aye". 

      Bruce's sister arrived about 3pm this afternoon, she gave him a big, long hug. She hales from Basalt, Colorado. We talked for 2 hours straight. She is an enthusiastic talker too. Must run in the family... We talked about Kathy's volunteer work with teaching the Hispanic children English and calming techniques in Colorado, family history, future plans and our children. After we solved everybody's problems dinner arrived. 

    So we drove to Eagle road and then back down town, stupid GPS. I drove Aunt Kathy to dinner at the Cottonwood Grille by the river (a posh restaurant with cloth napkins and a fireplace) and says she will take me to lunch tomorrow too. Who am I to deny her blessings? 

     Bruce had a chicken salad burrito, vegetable soup with a soda cracker and a fruit cup. He said he ate everything. I set up his cd book and headed for my friends home.
