Lori came in today to help pack ....her friend Lori #2 also came to pack. Luckily Bill's sister Shirley came over tonight with more packing paper as we were out of it. Thanks to Lori, Lori and Shirley we kicked butt on the packing again tonight.

I did go to Sam's today....they sell 250' rolls of bubble wrap in big boxes. I bought 3 boxes and we worked all night and only used a little more than one. I also hit it right at Sams's for a car load of boxes. I'm not done packing yet but I think I may have enought boxes. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel with the packing. Now I need the planets to line up a little more for the sale and move to Texas. As soon as I can get the act of sale date. I can let the movers know. We can make the reservation for the UHaul and get the big show on the road.

We do go to sale on Erlanger on Tuesday at 4:00PM.

Monday Bill will be moved back to Chateau De Notre Dame....room number not sure at this time if it will be the same room or not.

Bill....looks alert and strong today. He worked so well in ReHab this morning he went back in the afternoon for another session working in the wheelchair...propelling himself with his right leg. He has not done this since leaving EJ...but he is back in the grove with Beth. She is working with him on moving on the bed and on the mat. Coming to standing with minimal assistance on a more dependable basis. Since his transfers from the bed to the chair and from the chair to bed and mat are requiring a little less assistance he is getting to go in the shower again. That a real treat ! He seems very rested and happy today. His appetite is back in a big way. Lori brought him a big treat boiled shrimp. He really enjoyed them and ate well. He also called me to ask for 2 peaches and a knife because a lady of TV ate on in front of him and it made him want one. He did eat one whole fresh peach and some fish for dinner after eating all the shrimp this afternoon.

He is looking forward to the move and gets a big kick out of showing people the pictures of the new house and he tells everyone he is looking forward to seeing the girls in Texas.
