My oldest daughter got home on Friday! She worked very hard on the physical rehab floor and is now able to walk and go on the stairs with minimum help.
Unfortunately, this is not the end of this chapter. She continues to dislocate the hip, even in bed. All of the doctors and therapists agree that she will have to have the hip surgically repaired at some point. We will attend a big care conference with all of her major doctors to discuss surgery options as well as the physical needs in the house.
The house is unsafe for three of us. There is no real option to move as our finacial situation has worsen in the last few years. Social workers are helping us sort out what type of help we might qualify for, but we are slipping through many cracks in the system.
I do know that God will deliever us. One way or another things will change and there will be some solutions. We all just need to stay postive and hopeful.
Meanwhile, my youngest contiues to have spinal cord impingment. She will be walking and suddenly her legs will give out. This leads to falls and then dislocatoins in the knee, shoulder, and so on. The surgeon told us there is no way to solve this problem, but I do not accept that. We just need to find the right balance of movement and rest.
I thank all of you for your conituned support and prayers.
