As I wrote last month, it is time to try and move into the future we hope is waiting for us. To this end, we put down a deposit on an apartment in an assisted living community in Florence KY, very central to everywhere we go. I will live with him :) As Steve can't yet use his hands nor stand alone, we needed somewhere where we would be able to purchase the help we needed right in the facility. Three meals a day are included and many amenities. We would rather live in the condo, but Steve can't access what he needs there. We pray that the next six months to a year brings enough healing that we can both move there.
We are at 28 months of living separately, so while we are eager for this, it will certainly come with adjustments. Please pray for this.
We are waiting to see if Steve can be admitted to intensive rehab for a week or two before we move to the apartment. His current therapists know that he is ready for 3 hours of therapy a day, with special equipment that will suspend gravity so he can learn to take steps.
Lastly, very good news regarding his continuing 6 month follow up to the oncologist. There is still no sign of the cancer from 5 years ago returning and he has "graduated" to checkups every 12 months!
Check out Steve's blissed out face in the picture sidebar of him getting his Father's Day gift - his first massage!
Thank you so much for traveling along with us on such a long journey. None of us could have imagined the length and all God brought us through.
Love
Nancy and Steve
