First Day of Turning!

We start turning today! - 4 turns for femur and 3 turns for tibia - We were up early - I couldn't sleep - kept thinking about all we have to do. Matt did his breakfast turn about 10:30 this morn., we had breakfast then went to the hospital to find where we were supposed to be for therapy. He did his lunch turn just before his land therapy evaluation with Lauren - Matt did well, but the knee bends killed him as they did before - although he did get 85 and 90º on them - it must have taken 2 months before we got that last time! After therapy we went to 'TropiCool' for a smoothie, then went to exchange the van for the one with rear air again ... oh yeah! We got back home and as I was putting the chair back together again, the belt broke that holds the base board in place on the wheelchair! Without it his legs drop down - we have to get a new one or Matthew will flip out!! After we got in from changing the van, his legs were still very sore/tender so he took 2 tylenol 3's - and they made him konk out for about 45mins. When he woke, he did his dinner time turns then we went to Walmart for a few supplies with Marlo and her family and got an icecream on the way home. He did the final night-time turn on his femur around 11pm then we called it a day. - See you tomorrow!
