Hi everyone..... all is well at the Engelker house so far this week. Dr. DeVos gave Ed a good review on Tuesday - blood counts are slowly creeping up, which is good and he appears to be right on track for the building back up process. He gave Ed the go ahead to start getting a little more active and pushing himself a little to build up some physical strength. No workouts and personal trainer yet, but more walking and activity to build stamina. He has a couple more days on the antibiotics and then we'll be done with those, thank goodness!
We're going to consult with an orthopaedist now to try and get to the bottom of the problems Ed has had with his arms and shoulders for several months now to determine if there is an injury, nerve damage, or just weekness that is causing the range of motion issues. Hopefully an MRI will reveal some answers. Ed is eating well and putting on a little weight slowly, which is good. He got a little too much sun last weekend and is suffering the consequences - viral lesions on his face that are caused by sun exposure, so I think he'll start to be more careful and keep hats and protective clothing on. No more baking on the boats for this guy!
Thanks for the delicious birthday cake that our friends John and Gail brought over and the cheesecake from Ronda and Kyle! It was a few days of yummy at our house!
That's it for now. Labor Day is drawing near and we're planning to go to the lake if we get clearance from the doctors. Our next appointment is August 23rd, so we're working to keep Ed healthy and strong to get the go-ahead.
Happy Wednesday to all! Chat soon! Liz
Great news! Everyones prayers are being answered! Have a great day Ed and Liz! Love, Mary
