Since Kelleigh and I were at a craft show, Mark handled the visit with his mom and OT to the house. No surprises that the areas of concern were the bathroom and her desk chair. The bathroom is as functional as possible without being designed for a handicap person - two grab bars, seat inside, hand-held shower wand, etc. Apparently they discussed having someone come in and help shower her. Her desk chair can be replaced with whatever is appropriate. There was some discussion about the toilet which I'm not clear on. When we built her area, we put in the seats that are higher than the average to make it easier for her; she also keeps a walker on it to make it easier for her to get up. Why a discussion of her having a toilet in her living area even arose I don't know but frankly that's not going to happen. She admitted that she didn't feel sturdy on her feet so they noted that they will work on that in PT. Mark is on his way over there now so will update with anything else that happened once she got back or how she felt it went.
Connor had his last football game Wednesday night and since they won, they are Valley League Champions having finished the season 8-2! He was very excited. The freshmen team got introduced last night before the varsity game. Now we'll start winter lacrosse which will lead into spring lacrosse! Tonight he is with a friend playing laser tag as the kids were off today.
Tomorrow Mark and Connor will go visit Ryan and show him the footage of the games Mark was able to record. Hopefully we won't get the awful rain storms predicted all week. Kell will be at her counseling group for a while so I'll have a couple hours to myself - yippee!! Have been busy working on Christmas gifts so I can enjoy the process without feeling rushed.
