Dad had a neurology appointment at the VA last Friday. Our intention was to take whatever steps necessary to get him some adaptive equipment to help him with walking. Shortly after we arrived a lady took us back to her office and began asking us questions about any concerns we had regarding dad's health. As we chatted she started working through the list and by the time we left her office she had us down for him to get an assessment for adaptive equipment as well as to assess our house. She thinks we may be eligible for a grant that would make the bathroom more assessible for him and could even widen doorways if needed. He didn't get to see the neurologist but an intern. As we talked with her she was going back and forth to the dr. asking him ?'s. They ended up setting him up for physical therapy at home. The therapist came out today for the first time and dad liked her. She assessed him today and will come out 2x's a week now. I'm praying that maybe it will give him back some of his mobility or atleast make it a little easier to get around. They are also supposed to be checking on when we can get his pump changed. He's had it now for over 6 years and the battery is supposed to only be good for about 4. I'd rather change it now then wait for it to go out and be wondering when it's going to happen. I think we were both encouraged and extremely thankful.
We're closing in on the end of another school year. These last 2 weeks are going to be long and hard, but it will end. Please pray that the transition with the new headmaster will go smoothly.
Love you all!

That was great news mom and dad. Thanks for the update. It is great to see how the Lord is providing and taking care of the family. We'll be praying for that transition at school mom.
Great news! We are happy to hear all the answers to prayers.
