Things Are Good

It's been a while since I've posted.  Things are good.  No updates on Rassie's CML.  If you don't remember from the last post.  Rassie is in remission.  He's doing great and I am very proud of him.

October 11, 2010, was the 1 year anniversary of Rassie's accident.  He has come a long way.  He has proven time and time again that it is possible to get better. You just have to put your trust in God and give it your all. 

Rassie went for a driving evalutation in Austing back in early Oct.  I think around the 3rd.  I would have to pull out my calendar to be sure.  But, the point is, he passed!!! He did a great job.  The guy doing the evalutations was very impressed.  Rassie has no restrictions and is within normal reaction range along with all us other drivers out there.  I know that driving evaluation made Rassie's day.  He was so nervous!! But there was absolutely nothing to be worried about. He did awesome.

He saw Dr. F not too long ago as well.  Rassie is still making improvement. And with every little bit of improvement there is greater hope for a full recovery.  Rassie finished up his last physical therapy appointment last week.  Worker's comp doesn't want to approve more until Rassie see's Dr. F again.  That's not set up until December so we're working on what we need to do there. Or just what Dr. F thinks in general.  Rassie's been working on his physical therapy here at home.  He's got the stationary bike, the treadmill, and those big rubbery band things they sent home with him.  Plus he's been mowing the lawn.  (which was approved by Dr. F and the Physical Therapist).  He pushes on something similar to a lawn mower in physical therapy so it's like he's getting the same type of workout.   I am so glad we are able to improvise at home!   Plus, we're going to start going for walks and he's going to push the big double stroller!  It will be good for him and make the kids happy :)

Rassie is supposed to see the 3rd party worker's comp doctor again in November.  I am guessing it has not been set up yet because we haven't received any form of notification on when it's going to be. Guess we'll just wait it out and see.

The family is doing great.  Lane's our little daredevil.  Daddy has his hands full during the day while Mommy sleeps.  Lane is up and walking/running around and he's a climber!  Not to mention a full time flirt.  Scarlett is our little prissy pants.  She likes to walk around strutting her stuff.  Daddy has his hand full with her too with her big personality *cough* attitude.  Scarlett is 2 and half going on 16.  I'm loving every minute of it though!!

Rassie has been a great help with me going back to work too.  He's been my rock. It's hard being away at night. I miss sleeping next to my husband and cuddling with my babies when they wake up crying for mommy.  I do manage to get my 8 hours of sleep during the day but boy do I wish I spent those 8 hrs of daylight awake! But, God has a plan and right now it seems to keep me working nights.

Alright, back to bed for me! It's my night off and instead of sleeping I'm wide awake.. Go figure :)
Night ..... or morning to those of you getting up soon

God Bless.
