Bill looks great.....he is getting stronger by the day. I would say he is back to before the small bowl set back. He is eating and for the first time that I know of...he asked yesterday and again today to get out of bed and into his new wheelchair.

The new chair fits him well....Bill looks like he is over the pushing issues. Looks like he has found his center and his trunk muscle control is much better. He does not open his seat belt...he doesn't push his butt over the end of the seat and have to be pulled up in the chair. So it seems to me that he will get more out of Rehab since all of those issues have been resolved.

It was a quiet afternoon until around 5:00PM ....then the Murray's came !!!! Lori, Shelby,Kyle, Jeff, Phil and Julie all came at the same time to visit. Bill showed off his new found muscle strength. Phil shared his phone...that works like a computer and Bill listened to music after searching for his favorites. He enjoyed the company very much and even got more good wishes added to his COOLEST UNCLE POSTER.

Dean came to visit about 8:30Pm. Bill asked him to bring paper and pen. They will be working out a drum plan for what goes to Houston and what stays. Lori helped me get down cases from the attic today and Dean will be coming to help pack and let me know what Bill really wants to bring with us to Texas. I hope he cuts down a lot....he could fill his own moving van !

Thanks again Dean for being there for us !
