Visit

Yesterday, Trevor and a team of Physical Therapists made a visit home. They measured cabinets, doorways, steps, and shelves to see what changes need to be made before Trevor comes home. I walked in the door to find Trevor in a wheel chair typing on the computer in the den. A common spot to find him throughout the years. They stayed for about an hour, and they asked Trevor if he had any requests before they left. "Can I see my bedroom?" They carried him upstairs and Trevor got to lounge on his bed for a bit and look around at the nice tidy room Kalyn had worked on for him. Though he had no idea where all his other "stuff" went, it felt good for him to be there.

I looked around and it felt so right to have him and Mom back home again. It was hard seeing them load back up in the van and wave goodbye to us. It was of course bittersweet, knowing we are getting closer, but still have quite a bit more to go.

The evaluation said we have a few changes to make in the downstairs bathroom but the main concern is Trevor being able to get up and down all three floors of the house. Dad is heavily looking at what it would take to get an elevator from the basement up to Trevor's room. Until then Mom and Dad will most likely move their room upstairs so Trevor can be on the main level.

The last couple of days Mom has found out more information on Trevor's rehab care. While we feel like he is getting cared for well in Fort Wayne, there are other places that would be able to offer him more options because they specialize in rehab for people that have suffered from spinal cord injuries. Mom is currently looking into the possibilities of transferring him to Shepherd's Center in Atlanta, GA.

Prayer Requests
*For God to give us wisdom in whether Trevor should be transferred to Shepherd's Center.
*That Trevor's Systems would become regulated.
*That he will not suffer from Autonomic Dysreflexia. For more info see link below (copy and paste this link)
