Good afternoon, AU family!

I have so much good news to report regarding Wayne's recovery from surgery last week!

Today was a HUGE day! Physical therapy had him doing chair pushups (dips), etc. Then came Speech therapy & he was able to put the one-way valve on his trach & surprised the therapist with the strength of his voice! He got his reward - that much hoped-for cup of ice chips! (He has had nothing by mouth since last Wednesday).

Cheeky monkey! He had asked for some water & a swab to rinse his mouth out... As I turned my back to fetch something else, I caught motion out of the corner of my eye... the sly bugger had taken a sip from the cup!

He will officially start liquids tomorrow, but they want to be sure he's not leaking into any tissues anywhere from the mouth.

He is cleared to get a wheelchair, even with all the IV pole, He's very keen to get rolling since I told him it would reduce the swelling in his arms & hands...

😅God is great... You are looking fantastic Wayne... Now if you can just convince that wife of yours to get a good nights sleep..LOL

So happy to hear you may be able to go home this coming weekend.. I'm claiming it, In Jesus name, Amen...HUGS and Love!!💞🙏🙌

Call me Mel, I tried you twice and it's not goig thru, maybe your phone is charging?? Anyway, so happy things are coming along..Praise the Lord. You guys got this!
Don't forget to post the link to your GSG account...💞

So the link to the GiveSendGo you posted,@QakeLady, wasn't working???

Here it is again, just in case anyone would like to chip in maybe $5 and help us out.

I know it will hit me later - the enormous cost of everything. I'm aware that it will be way more than $5,000... But I can't be bothered thinking about that now - that's what I asked Grandfather (God) to handle for us, because the whole subject just terrifies me.

Yesterday, Wayne was trying to pay our electric & some other bills by phone... but I didn't have enough money left in my account to cover them & still have gas to get us home at the end of the week, so we waited...

The kids can help us cover utilities. Disability won't kick in for 3-4 months, but it should be retroactive to appllication date when it does.

I just can't allow myself to think about that now because I'll turn into a puddle. Much better to focus on

That link works !! TY for reposting!

Thank goodness!

My poor eyes! Thankfully, my bestie,@QakeLady, sent me that link or I could never have found it, LOL.

Thank you again, Dennis, for getting me through one of the worst days of my life. I wasn't scared, wasn't worried, but I was mighty frustrated by the way we were being treated by the hospital administration & the danged billing department.

Then to have people start telling me we'd have to be Covid tested every 48 hours, and that we MUST take the Covic vax & all other vaxes we weren't up to date on.

Then to hear it again from the dumbass anesthesiologist. I told Dr. Hasney about our interaction & the dumbass is so lucky that Dr. Hasney banned him from any further contact with us... I LOVE that man! ☺️

I told Dr. Hasney, if that dumbass comes into our room & starts talking about Covid, he will leave in a big hurry, with the imprint of my sandals on his face! 😂🤣 But I was NOT joking & he knew it.

I simply don't have time to comply with any hoaxes
