Happy, Happy, Happy
A quick recap:
Things are back to normal after Roberts 6 day stay in the hospital for his 2 different infections in his bladder. He went to a urologist here in town on Tues. that decided to put him on an antibiotic suppressant to help keep the infections at bay for the time being.
When Rob got home, his Nursing care company came out to readmit him and decided to try and get orders for a new bed. He has just a plain foam hospital bed, and the director felt that we could do WAY better than that for Roberts preventative care of pressure sores, etc. This has been ordered and is on its way sometime next week.
We are getting updated here an there on the progression of Personal Transportation. Aka "The Van". Roberts adjuster told me that things are being put together this week to be handed to a panel that will decide if this will happen or not. I'm praying this will happen with all the faith that I have. Hopefully we will hear something positive in the coming weeks.
Please understand that we don't feel we are owed anything. I know that we are just praying that the Lord provides for ALL of our needs. And plainly stated, this is one of those needs. If we can't have something that can safely transport Rob in his wheelchair, then we don't go anywhere. Plain and simple. We could call public transportation, yes, but its not very affordable to do it frequently.If Workers Comp doesn't provide Robert with a vehicle, then we will make the decision to some how pay for a vehicle. I'm leaving this in Gods hands to provide in this way.
HAPPY
A word that can't begin to describe The way Robert felt on Tues. The excitement was very present in our house that morning. Why?
Roberts Power Chair was being delivered!!! We were beginning to worry because they said that they would be here between 9:30-11:30 a.m...Round 11 a.m. we finally got a knock on the door. yay! He was here.
It was so nice to see Robert so happy for a change. This meant so much for him. So much more independence. Freedom and mobility. I was so happy for him.
He hasn't slowed down since Tuesday. We went to our churches Fall Festival last night and had a great time. Robert and I decided to go ahead and pay the Taxi fee for us to get him there. It was something that was worth doing to get out as a family. I had earlier in the week asked his Adjuster if Work Comp. would approve that transport and unfortunately they would not. Its upsetting that they won't cover things that would mentally help him as well as medically, but its not my decision in the end. We over all had great time, and the kids were so excited to have their first Taxi ride too.
Its not really how you get there, but that you had a good time where you are going. :)
