Days 16 and 17 of therapy. Let me start off first by saying that are weekend was very nice although Austin picked up the "dreaded" cold somewhere, and in our last week here, we now are dealing with that!! Bill arrived on Sunday and it is so great to have him here with us. It would be so nice to have Zach too, but we are very happy to be so fortunate to be able to have Bill join us. We decided to do a winery tour on Sunday, but we forgot to ask Austin how he felt about that, and low and behold he let us know his thought when we arrived there. It was a nice scenic car ride there, and so beautiful when we got there, but Austin was having nothing to do with it. Cried non stop from the minute we got there, to the exact minute we left and entered the car that had been waiting for us. It was a nice tour for me, since Bill was such a great husband and let me do the tour while he sat with Austin trying to enteratain him for an hour and a half. I did bring him out a glass of wine everytime we were given one, and then at the end we were able to eat some cheese and have a glass of wine together, as we tuned out Austin (knowing it was hopeless at this point), and let everyone else find a way to deal with it on their own.
Therapy on Monday was okay but again, a very crabby morning for Austin. After the first session that Bill saw, he became a believer in the CME and had a very good first impression. Today we started learning our home program routine and will learn more and more everyday this week to prepare us for at home. Ramone is making a video for us and writing out each exercise so we won't become overwhelmed. When I asked him when would he like to see us back he said, five to eight months after we leave. If Austin would complete some of the exercises befor five months (that is master them) then we need to send him a video and he will give us some new exercises over the phone. Such a great guy he is, and the confidence he has in us. I hope we don't let him or Austin down.
We went on a city tour today and saw some great sights and had a great day. Austin enjoyed this outing, maybe it was the ride on the double decker bus with the fresh air that he liked. Have another therpay this afternoon, then dinner with our friends from Canada. Will fill you in more tomorrow.
