We woke to the news that a huge winter storm was on its way over the next 24/48 hours the whole state is on alert!!! So we watched the news for the most of the morning, but we only saw a lot of rain and a bit of wind. They kept talking about freezing rain – something I have yet to know what it is and to see it!
We thought that Ben had PT at 10am – but it was 2pm that will be the last late one. Damo was again on duty to day with instructions to video & take pictures. So off they went in the rain – well actually they took the car.
So Jacob & I got down to housework & school work, the wonders of modern technology means that Jacob can still do his school homework online, small world. We decided to treat ourselves for all our hard work & made some brownies, always a winner.
We Skyped a few family member to catch up on gossip & to let them know our return flight details, as its getting so close now returning to reality....
I was getting a little worried as Damo & Ben had not return from PT, then I got a text they were having coffee with Evan, Lynda & Andy Whitton as Evan had PT the same time as Ben. By all accounts Ben was making Evan laugh lots.
Then I got the run down on what had happen during PT, Ben had work hard – what else would you expect he managed 20 mins on the treadmill, lots of standing balance, Total Gym & taking steps with a little support. They had lso called Keith again as Ben splints were still hurting his ankle so he came to sort it, hopefully for the last time.
They also came home with all Ben hospital notes (Auntie Em will enjoy reading these) which were really interesting to read. Ben seems to be improving not only daily but hourly & he is really conscious that he will be back at school a week today & want to show his friends how well he is doing & how tall he is now – we think he is at least 3 inches taller, because he now stands tall and he is not to crouched & his legs are straight.
The afternoon was nearly gone by the time they came home, so we did a bit of sorting, organised for the rental car to be dropped off at the airport & thought about packing, then I though again I’ll do it Thursday!!!!!
Ben had a good knack of pulling surprises out of the bag & tonight was no exception, just after tea he & Jacob were plying when Ben walking into the kitchen using his sticks!!! I tell you this boys is unstoppable – yet again one proud Mummy.
Well who knows what we will wake up to in the morning – there could be loads of snow or who knows oh well that’s life.
