Final Plan

It was becoming evident that I would not be able to travel alone with Bryson. The hospital can't release him if there is a safety concern. At this point, Bryson is a two man lift. My 38 pounds of love now weighs well into the 60's due to casts. Not to mention you cant just pick him up like a sack of potatoes!There were many other logistic items that were making traveling alone not a reality. We did have two other friends (thanks Susan and Laura) who offered to fly out and help transport. Lorna was seeing how difficult it was becoming so she called her supervisor and requested two more vacation days if they could get someone to cover her shifts. Knowing our situation, her supervisor granted the extra vacation!

I can't explain the relief this brings to not only me but to Robert who 3,000 miles away feels helpless for Bryson and I. I hope that someday I can be the friend to her that she has been to me this past week. Lorna's friendship always creates growth in me. I love that!

Bryson still has many things to get accomplished by Thursday. I know he can do it! He was able to transfer with two person lift into a wheelchair this afternoon. He sat for one hour! Yeah! He is wore out and sleeping now!

Dr is asking for us to be at RMH for at least 24 hours after discharge so he had to be out of

here Thursday to fly home Friday. Come on Mr. B let's finish the checklist!

Tickets are exchanged for Friday!
