Thursday, March 8, 2012  - UPDATE 3pm

Waiting. Waiting for the Doctors to see if there s anything they can do to help Scott's hands.He can't use them right now as they are swollen and painful. He is sleeping sitting up in bed with his hands resting on 3 pillows on his lap to try to keep them elevated. I hope there is something they can do. I have graduated to CNA now, and happy to help. So no posting from Scott for a while as he can't bend his  fingers to type:( Better days ahead.

The Docs perscribed some pain medication, a narcotic, and thankfully it makes
Scott tired also. He continues to flirt with a fever...hovering around 100. I did ask the doctors if the hand condition would last a few days or a few weeks, and they said days so that is good. No walking or biking today. Just rest.


We got mail!!!! and lots of it. Some of it was from the first room we had. The chaplain stopped by and said he had sent something to someone and they got it 2 months later! I thought I would put up pics of the cards we have gotten so you can see if yours is out there. Thank you everyone for all of your great support. Those cards and letters mean more than I can say. Scott is saving the one from the PD for when he is a little more awake. There were an awful lot of signatures on that one! Thanks Trina for the puzzle books. Take care everyone!
