We are in our new 'normal' and have developed a routine. I am teaching in the mornings and usually home by 1pm. Dwayne is doing things around the house, kitchen cleanup, vacuuming, watering the plants, etc. That is a big help. In the afternoons we try to walk at least a mile, either on the beach trail or in the neighborhood.
Yesterday, Dwayne was evaluated by a new rehab center. The physical and speech therapists had him go through their testing. He did well with the physical therapy and after going over the notes from his last PT, she was encouraged that after a month of no therapy he had not lost any ground. She will be working on strength and balance. His endurance is much better. We went to Sea World this past Saturday and he did the day without using the wheelchair! Speech is still the area that needs the most work. Short term recall and aphasia are still a challenge.
Today he began his third round of chemo. This will go on for five days. The week of November 7th he will have the next MRI. We are praying that the last three spots are gone!
Thank you for being an important part of our lives.
