Remodel has begun
The remodel of our house began last week, ironically on March "forth," which is what we are doing! Demo seems to be progressing smoothly and steadily, but we are eager to see some construction.
Physical therapy for Kevin's shoulder has been providing some relief, both increasing range of motion and decreasing pain. But he continues to experience quite a bit of fatigue during the day. Also, we have noticed his speech is becoming slower and a bit more clumsy. He will continue to voice bank as long as he can; the more phrases he can bank, the more authentic his synthesized voice will sound.
Thanks again for prayers, meals, rides, etc.! A special thank-you to our family members who gifted Kevin with a folding power wheelchair! It arrived yesterday, and Kevin has already tested its off-road capabilities through the landscaping. The kids think it is very cool, but the dog is not so sure.
Thanks, also, to Aunt Suzanne for sharing her knowledge and moral support in helping us navigate Social Security! We were pleasantly surprised at how smoothly the application and approval process went. It brought Kevin so much peace of mind to be able to email Suzanne with all his questions and know that she had our back!
Finally, for those of you who are interested in learning more about ALS, Dr. Neel from the ALS Clinic will be presenting "ALS 101" on Monday, April 13th from 6-8pm at the University of Cincinnati Gardner Neuroscience Institute, in the auditorium. Kevin and I are planning to attend. The address is 3113 Bellevue Avenue, and there is a parking garage under the building.
