TERRY
Terry is doing about the same. Hector, from Roads meds, came yesterday and said"PT may start tomorrow, Thursday, or even today!" I almost laughed as it was already 2:30. BUT sure enough Phillip called a short time later and said he could come over in a half hour to evaluate Terry's condition! Boy was I surprised. He came and I have to say of all the medical people we have seen over the past 4 months he was perhaps the most impressive. It just made both Terry and I feel good. Well he only evaluated and he said we may have a PT person over this week yet to start therapy. IF that happens that would be great. So we continue to take things one day at a time and so far I am pleased with what we have seen this week. Am I talking about progress for Terry, no. I am talking about the over all picture for Terry and her LONG journey towards good health again. I must say that each day I am learning and I hope getting better at knowing and meeting her needs. Really she is a wonderful patient.
It has been a huge help to have daughter Kim here and it will be a downer when she leaves.
Here is a picture of students at Wood Lake School maybe in 1952 or so. I say that year as I started 1st grade in 1953 and I am not in this picture. Joan, Janet, Dave and others are in. There are the Olsons, the Baldwins, the Medhaughs, (sp), the Skroaces (I butchered that name) and cousin Roger and more. I post this because, for some odd reason, I often have this saying going through my mind. I have had it for many years and it is this, "SECRETS OF THE HEART". I hope nobody every asks me to explain it but really I wonder how many SECRETS OF THE HEART are in the hearts and souls of each of these kids. Some good and some not so good. As for me I have often thought of writing a book on that. I think I have led a pretty good life but if I wanted to get really deep down I think I could unearth many SECRETS OF THE HEART! I want to add that I do not know much about the adult lives of most of these kids but I do believe that their upbringing produced many great and wonderful adults. By the way the first row 4th from the left is Dave. Second row first on the right is Joan and in the back row the gal with glasses is Janet. Brother Ronald must have gone on to high school before this year. I think it is worth noting that most have a big smile on. I really think that says a lot about the culture of that day. I know most of the families did not have a lot of money. Most were hard working, down to earth people who loved the Lord and felt life was good. AND I know many went on to do very good things as adults. BUT NO coats on in the middle of a North Dakota winter!!! I want to add here that Loving the Lord takes on many different looks. I know that Mom loved the Lord and I am sure that the Lord was very pleased with the way she lived and the way she loved and served her family. But yet her life certainly did not take on the look of what we often, today, consider serving the Lord. It just was a different culture way back then.
Not sure what day 4 will bring into Terry and my lives. There are a couple of things that I am expecting in the mail and maybe, just maybe, PT could start today. One thing is for sure. Kim is here so we will have wonderful meals that are delicious and healthy!
I actually am going to get out on the bike this morning for a short ride. I have not been on the bike yet since we arrived. I have gotten into the pool and have been surprised that it is only about 85 degrees. That is fine but I thought with temps usually over 90 the pool would also be warmer.
Kim put the FP pot on this morning so I am enjoying the delicious drink without working! enough
