Today the nurse came and did a treatment..i watched so that i could do it myself..not too hard..they gave me the supplies i needed so that is helpful!
she said they will have someone come out on monday to do a follow up and do another treatment, and then i can do it in 3-4 more days after that..
she said it was small thankfully and it should heal..he could go into his wheelchair for 2 hours then back in bed..back and forth like that..
she also said we could get him going on home physical therapy..that would be TONS easier then taking him over to west coast spine here in riverside..its a new home health agency..so maybe they will be better about things..so she is contacting our doctor to get a referral for that..we told her were waiting to get him into rancho los amigos and that we were going to take him back to west coast..but if we could have home health come instead..that'd be easier..so we'll see what happens with that!

With all that you are learning you are going to be a nurse in no time! Just start sending insurance a bill. :)
Seriously you are doing so much! and that has to help in his recovery. When I worked in the health profession you wouldn't belive the amount of people that had NOTHING to do with their loved ones care. We had a gentleman in a condition similar to Jon's and his family would come up once a week for about 15 minutes. So sad! I think it plays a HUGE difference in a persons ability to recover.
What a cute picture! I am glad the sore is small and treatable! That is great. You would have been a great nurse.
what a darling picture!
