A mountain of firsts... Update 6/30/2012

M
So many firsts this week. A few days ago Rob sat up assisted by his PT and his sister, bedside. He got his first real shower yesterday, since the wreck on 6/6/2012.He got in the tilted wheelchair yesterday for the first time. The same one some of you have seen on Facebook. He needs to be in it 4–6 hours a day.
He got his very first manicure by yours truly. Rob also got to see the Houston rain today while his dad ran him around TIRR in his chair. At two today he had OT for his muscle movement of his shoulders, arms, and hands. He worked so hard.. Which proved true as he was asleep after supper tonight..


Tonight proved firsts for me too.
First time I reached out to hold his hand and he didn't reach out for mine.. I always expect it to be automatic.

First time I have been asked to pick my husbands nose...Yuck, but that's some major love right there.

First time ever in our eleven years of marriage that I have given my husband a manicure.

We can see how hard Rob is working & know that God is blessing. I did have to laugh about picking your husband's nose! That is true love! Love you all!
