Back from the evaluation

Well today we left at 1130am for the evaulation and didnt get home till 5pm..YIKES!

the evaluation went well..the facility is a county place..meaning all the medical and medicaid are going there..we got checked in and seen by a doctor who pocked and prodded jon in different places to get an idea of his condition..he had mentioned that his body had done quite a bit of improvement since he left loma linda..

he gave us an immediate referral over to the OT and PT there..so we walked over there and they gave us a quick appt for nov. 28th at 1pm..there they will eval him there and tell him what they can do for him for OT and PT..we noticed the dr had marked off mobility/locomotion..which means putting him in a standing position with a harness and making him walk on a treadmill..i cant EVEN IMAGINE what that will be like!!!

so all in all it was good..jon was sooooooooo tired when we got home..he fell asleep for a good 2 hours SOLID and the girls were CRAZY screaming and chaos as usual and he NEVER WOKE UP ONCE!!! he must have been so tired!! we had all eaten dinner, had showers etc..i woke him at 7pm to eat..he had NO IDEA we had done any of that!

i have to thank cara arnold for coming over to help me with the girls..she's always SOOO nice and helped clean up my house! im so lucky to have people that care for us!!

well off to get kids in bed..we did fhe (the fall of adam/agency)..ice cream..and now bedtime..then im off for my nightly 30 minute walking!!
