A good day

Today was such a good day, that I think we all feel more positive about the future. I did my run this morning and then got an sms on my phone from Trevor's physio which said the following:

Morning Carol, it's Tarryn (physio) from Vincent Pallotti, just letting you know that Trevor has woken up this morning with the ability to extend his right elbow, move his right wrist up and down and open and close his fingers :D :D :D

That really had me smiling. The Matthew, Nicole, Candice and myself all went to visit Trevor and we used the Communication Board with him (its a board with letters of the alphabet on it, so he can tell us things) and the first word he spelled out had us all laughing, it was 'budgie' :D The reason its so funny, is because Nicole and I bought the budgie and Trevor has always moaned about the budgie and how he looks after it but he never wanted it...but we all know Trevor loves the budgie, he is always the one talking to the budgie and letting him out to fly and feeding him etc, so it made us feel good to know that is the kind of thing that is going through his mind, if HIS budgie is okay and we are treating it right. The next word he spelled was 'operation' because he wanted to know about the tracheotomy he was having today. Next, he spelled 'water plants' which also had us smiling to know he was wanting to make sure the garden is okay. Next was the word 'tac' which stands for Telkom Athletics Club, which is his running club, so we let him know that everyone in Tac knew what happened to him and that they were all praying for him and sending good wishes.  A bit later we checked again if he wanted to say something and he nodded, so we went through the procedure and he spelled out 'what is on the board' so we told him. Its a board next to his bed, where the nursing staff have notes and things pinned up to do with his care, he wanted to know what was on a particular paper.

We also met his occupational therapist who gave us updates on what she has been doing, so we know have met another one of Trevor's 'team'.

Then, as if that wasn't enough goodness for the day a friend of Seleste's decided to make us some wonderful cupcakes...and they literally were the 'cherry on top' of a great day.

 

Your prayers are obviously all working, so please keep them up <3
