Things are looking up!!

Hi all!
Things are getting much better around here. Fred is getting around without even a cane now and has been able to get outside and do some things in the yard. Our neighbors came last weekend and got the pool closed for us, so that was a big weight lifted.
We went and saw the thoracic surgeon yesterday. He removed the stitches from the chest tubes and said that Wed's chest films look great. His lung is completely clear!
He has to see his orthopedist this coming Wed. and we'll see what he has to say about all of the breaks and fractures healing. When he clears him, he'll be able to go back to work.
As far as the kidney stone goes, that's another story!! We spent the entire day in the hospital last Friday and he had lithotripsy done. The urologist wasn't sure if it was successful or not and it seems it wasn't! This weeks films show that the stone is still in the kidney and nothing has passed. Our GP doesn't think that he will ever be able to pass it either. It causes constant discomfort and has brought on two episodes of extreme pain, vomiting and fever. The urologist said that if/when that happens again, he will have to be admitted. Um, "Hello"!! We know that, but we can't do that forever!!
He has an apt. coming up to follow up with him, so we'll see what's next in his plan! Once that's conquered, he'll be as good as new!
The next batch of referrals are expected next week and so help me God, they better at least finish matching through last July!! I want to at least be next! I need to see my baby girl!!
Sophia is really enjoying school. She saw the eyedoctor yesterday and will be wearing glasses in the classroom for the blackboard and has some eye exercises to do each day to strengthen the eye muscles. Her eye sight is only slightly off, but she's having trouble focusing. This photo of her was taken this week!
Love to all!
