As promised, here are some video clips of George's therapy sessions last week. As you will see, George's right hand is coming along great! He and Darrell "play ball" several times a week, and Darrell says that George can typically throw for several minutes before dropping it, but of course, since I was taping, it didn't happen. If he continues to improve, however, maybe the Astros can use him!?!
His right foot and leg are the stubborn ones. Paige says at times he is taking really good steps; unfortunately, there are still quite a few off-balance ones too! Since I've been making him walk to and from the bathroom and kitchen all day long now, hopefully we will see an improvement in his walking ability soon.
George had a little "spill" in the bathroom while I was attending a bridal shower this past weekend. Greg was home with him, but not present, so George tried going it solo. NOT a good idea! George got a bruised knot on his side and on his knee, and another bruise on his arm. I was thankful there were no cuts or gashes since he is on a blood thinner, but needless to say, I was still not happy with either one of the guys. I guess it will be one of those lessons learned the hard way!!

Sunday, May 17 ... A Special Visitor
Tonight's weather sure can't be beat; too bad our Houston Rockets were!! I still don't know how they can play soo well in one game, and then stink it up the next, but overall, they gave the Lakers a good fight, and I'm proud of them! We just need a few big guys that can stay healthy throughout the season ... oh well, maybe next year!! Losing the game, however, didn't deter any of our appetites; thanks to Lindsay & Dave, we ate well!
This morning, we had a very special visitor ... Charles Lee Luker. This is George's partner-in-crime/deer lease buddy that we talk about often. Charlie has had a rough few months after being diagnosed with lung cancer, and has not been able to get out much. His son, Mark, that lives here in Houston, goes to Vic
toria every weekend to check on his parents and help out, but Mark thought it might do his dad good to take a little trip and let his Mom have some time "home alone." That little plan worked out great for us! George has sure been missing Charlie, and so has Brady!! I don't know who was more excited to see him, but I know Brady got the most hugs and kisses! Brady loves t
o bunk with Charlie at the deer lease ... and hump his leg! We can't figure out why, but supposedly that is the way Brady always greets him down at the lease. Greg, George's son, and Mark told their dads that they would try to take them on a day trip down to Gonzales soon. I'm not so sure how the wheelchairs will "motor" down there, but I guess where there is a will, there is a way! In the meantime, we all had a great little visit and lunch, and we hope to do it again real soon. We love you, Charlie, and continue to pray for God's healing touch!
On Friday, I THINK I captured some video of George's therapy sessions on my camera, so I will try to add that to the blog tomorrow. I hope each of you have a great week ahead!!
