The other evening about 5pm they had Carol sitting out in the hall by the Nurses station and she decided to go for a walk. Has been walking good for me and the Theripist but had not gotton up on her own and just took off--about 6-8 feet to see her roommate. But the mechanisms for lock ON the wheels and foot rests of Bernices chair got tangled up with her feet and she slid down the face of chair and she cut her upper lip and skinned her arm and knee. But she bled so much as we all do with a head injury that they called the ambulance and we met her at the ER. Every thing checked out ok and they glued the wound shut, took some mri and Eric and I gtook her back to her room. She was in good spirits the whole time. God Is Good. He decided to make up for the fall and little injuries and proceeded to straighten her neck up to about 15 degrees from verticle. Best her neck been this good in a couple of months. She is also much more alert and actually seems to be happier. Last two days have been good. I try to feed her at meals because she has lost 20 lbs in last 2 months. I don't know if she eats any better for me but it is good therapy for me also. Even her physical excercises and walking by the Therapist is good therapy for me. I am encouraging the Aids and Nurses to let Carol walk when they can. At least around her room. God is improving my spirits while He is helping Carol physically.
Head Nurse was amazed that Carol's face was not black and blue because of the way she looked right after the accident. Not a bruise on her face or even body for 2 days and then some on cheek and jaw. She is a hardy soul.
GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!
