It is so easy to lose track of the time and stay too long....  my back and legs are telling me though.

What first.....  well there are lots of firsts.

1.  I observed the dressing change on the driveline....  this is the power cord that comes out if his
       abdomen...  it will ALWAYS need dressing changes...  i think it will eventually get this less iften
        But for awhile, it will be every day....  but I can do that.  The skin will actually grow into the
        Cord to form a bond, but there is always the chance it could get pulled....

2. I missed the daily controller test... Larry said I could probably have heard it at home... he said it
    Was loud.

3.  He sat in the chair for 2 1/2 hours... major feat... tomorrow he walks...  his controller has both a belt or sling....  his batteries go on a vest with special pockets....  this again is something he will get used to....  without it...  the pump doesnt pump.

4. He began holding his own water cup and getting his own ice...  he forked his own fruit, but i fed him soup.....  

5. He is coughing well, which is good....  he even asked for his little breathing gadget...  to work on...



Then...... I cam home to a really clean house... thank you Christie.... she had America Cruz come clean for me......  it felt great to come into a clean home....

Tomorrow I will go in a little later because the dogs have a grooming appointment....i made it 2 months ago and had forgotten until they called to confirm.....  but decided they need it too.....

So tomorrows update will be after 11 am.....
