Today RD has struggled quite a bit with nausea again. He actually had to stop therapy because of it. Please pray that they can figure out what factors are causing it as well as how to prevent it and treat it. Today RD thinks the elevator caused it...motion sickness seems to be a giant common factor at times. Other times, it's random and no known factors are present.

Things seem to be on track for RD's equipment. He should be receiving a loaner wheelchair tomorrow or Friday. They also have a trial version of the bed at the rehab center for him to try similar to what he will have delivered to him at home on Friday. Supplies seem to have been ordered and nursing/therapy home care seems to be arranged. They will be meeting us at our house on Sunday to discuss/try out his equipment and set up days and times for nursing care with us.

We have still not seen Dr. Sood. I plan to call myself tomorrow, but would you pray this gets taken care of and that he sees Sood before he leaves?

Today I tackled one room...Kylie's playroom. Every single item had to be cleaned and construction dust removed even though they were in boxes. So, it took me ALL day to accomplish that task. I seriously can't believe it took all day, but it's a long process to clean and organize things in our house. This is why the kitchen took like 3-4 days too. Thankfully, at the end of the day Kylie's playroom is set up, organized, and I have a happy little girl who has missed her toys. She apparently liked it because within 30 minutes the whole floor was covered with toys like she just ripped through things just to see what was there. She doesn't typically do that, so it was a little crazy to see. Anyways, please continue to pray for extra strength and energy the next 3 days. Stuff is everywhere and RD needs to be able to wheel around on Sunday in here with nothing in his way! Plus, I need to make room for his bed and equipment on Friday.

Well, I currently have a HUGE mound of clothes on my bed that need to be hung in order for me to sleep tonight! Better go since it's already midnight. Thanks for checking in and continuing to pray.
