New Updates

Hello. Our internet has been down both Saturday and Sunday so have not been able to blog with updates. My apologies as I know some of you have worried something is wrong. I am happy to report each day is a little better. Saturday Terry had me a little concerned as our conversations were a little bit out there but yesterday, Sunday, was a very good day. The swelling is considerably down and he started to resemble himself. He was able to put his glasses on for the first time and they fit. His goal yesterday was to walk four times. We had a good conversation and he intereacted very well with his Dad and I. His voice was strong and he seemed a lot calmer not so aggitated but I have been told the steroids will do that. The pain yesterday was mainly concentrated in his eye and above the eye. His eye still looks very bad appearance wise so can imagine it is painful but it was open a slight bit. A portion of our conversation yesterday was what in the world to do with the remainder of the head he still has on his head! As you all know, Terry has or had a very thick head of hair but now it is just reduced to a thick mass of hair in the back of his head. He definitely needs some styling tips so today I hope he will let us take him to the salon at MD Anderson to get it washed and cut short as trying to brush those longer locks pulls too much on his incision. He needs a new "do" but is not being all that cooperative but hey, I have an advantage -- he can't run away from me - I just have to push him in a wheelchair and get him down there -- he is Mr. Personality to everyone around him so once I get him there he should cooperate.

Monday - A.M. Stopped at the hospital this morning in hope that Terry would go home today. Still no orders to release him yet but I really do think it will happen today. I hope so -- Two weeks ago today we received news that changed our lives -- what a roller coaster it has been -- The power of prayers and friendship have gotten us through all this -- I hope all of you are well and life is treating you good. Have a Great Monday everyone and I will keep you posted.

P. S. Terry still is talking about a celebration party so don't be surprised if late summer or so the Williams will be having another party!
