Amazing Improvements!!

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you all have had a good week, and all came out OK after the flooding Cookeville experienced Wednesday. Remember to keep the ones who were not as fortunate in your thoughts and prayers.

Britton has been doing very well the past few days! He is walking a lot better with hardly any pain in his left hip. He still has some occasionally, but not as often or as bad as it was earlier this week. Slowly he is doing things by himself, but with supervision. He is trying to prove to himself that he is still capable of doing minor tasks on his own. He decided he was ready to test his skills with the crutches, a few steps later, he decided the walker was best for him! =)
UT was saying within seven to ten days the stitches from the chest tube needed to be removed, so today he and I take off to have them removed. The doctor he saw said to give them a few more days, the skin is not completely healed. Planning on trying again next Friday. He does have a follow up visit with the doctor that was treating him while in Critical Care ICU on the 30th. I am anxious for him to see how well Britton is improving.

 I am truly amazed by Britton! He has been through so much during his twenty years of existence, and he fights his trials with good spirits, high hopes, and determination! He is a very strong man, and I am so grateful to have him in my life!


I am so thankful we have such an AWESOME God who has been standing beside all of us. I know we could not have made it through this as well as we did without him! 

Sweet dreams,
Ashley
