Monday Update


Bob in Wyoming
1972

Bob's Monday was focused on physical therapy.  The therapist worked with Bob on his range of motion. At this point, therapy will be at an easy pace.  The therapists are being very mindful about Bob's bedsores while working with him.  They have been working diligently in hopes that Bob will be able to sit up as soon as his sores are healed. Getting Bob to sit up will be a big step in his rehabilitation, but for now it will cause more harm than good.  The entire staff at Jackson Memorial continues to do an amazing job caring for Bob and helping him progress.

Bob spent most of the day with his sister, Debbie.  She said that he was active for much of the day with therapy.  At one break she turned FOX on his TV and he seemed to be watching.   

A special congratulations to Bob's niece, Shawn, on the birth of her son.  Shawn, TK and Campbell welcomed Beckett Thomas into the world at 6:55 tonight.

  2. Fox News; of all the things to get Bob's attention that would be it.

    I look forward to the lively political debate that is part of the daily lunch menu at Wendy's,sparked by Bob and his ultra-liberal views!! (not)

    Bob is on my mind daily and we are thankful for the progress he is making. Nothing can help healing more than the support of loved ones. He is fortunate to have all of you in his corner.
