I will be able to drive. This is HUGE! I am SO excited and shocked. I actually drove today which was scary but I must have done ok. There really is going to be a point where I don't have to rely on the bus or other people to go to work, or appointments, or just have the ability to go get a coffee without having to walk if I want to. It will be a slow process, but I'd rather it be slow than not happen at all. I honestly thought it was never going to happen after the way everything went with the testing my OT did last year. He was one of the first people I called and he said to me, I think you can do anything you want to which was awesome. It just such a huge thing. Thank you for your prayers and please pray that I will do better and better as each lesson passes and that funding for hand controls will go through.
I also got word today that I may very well be able to get a standing chair covered through my work insurance so please pray that that works out as well. Please also pray work continues to go well and that anxiety/stress gets better.
Lastly please pray hard for Caleb as he goes for cord detethering surgery tomorrow. Pray for peace for him and his parents. Pray that God will guide the hands and minds of his doctors. Pray that he will avoid any complications. Pray that they can avoid/limit their time in the PICU. Pray for understanding and some sense of normalcy for his brother, Benjamin.
