We returned from Joe’s grandmothers funeral this week and we had to catch up at work. We finally got to see Billy last night and all we could say was Wow!!! Billy is progressing very well. He said that he walked about 60 feet yesterday at PT. Billy is using a walker some and is doing well with occupational therapist as well. The therapist has Billy doing things such as playing checkers and other games to redevelop his digital dexterity as well as fine motor skills. After playing checkers with Gina for a while, Billy told the therapist that Gina cheats. Yep, I would say that he is well on his way to a remarkable recovery. Billy has been moved to a liquid diet, which is earlier than the therapists thought. (That isn’t new with Billy) He is still looking forward to getting to eat Lee’s chicken and mashed potatoes, and while the diet he has now (cream of celery soup) isn’t it, he is pushing forward toward that goal. We tried to figure out a way to get some chicken but we could only come up with pureed and he made a face. I guess that wasn’t quite what he had in mind.
God is at work in all of our lives but we can really see it in the Patty’s. I praise God every day for the Patty’s example of faith.
