OK Here's the skinny on the outing...

we pretty much kidnapped Seth and took him on a walk outside. He really wasn't a willing participant. I took his gown so he had to put the hoodie and gym pants on and put his socks on and Jeff got the getaway car (wheelchair) and we were off. We took him down to the Activity Area outside. It has Basketball courts, tennis courts for the over 16 area, and another area for El Ed and Middle School aged kids. Seth really could care less. The walkway around the hospital and then to this park area was all cobblestone paved and every bump was felt in the chair. Seth was hurting by the time we got back. He thanked us for the thought, but asked not to do it again. OK, so we tried. He said he's really not too worried about his "emotional state", but is trying to focus on his "physical state", "AND IT HURTS RIGHT NOW", to quote Seth.
He is all over the Best Buy pass thing but not today. Aunt Laura and Uncle Greg even volunteered to fund the outing. Uh oh.
Jeff just left for home at 6P. He had to get home and do a little laundry before bed. We miss him already. We don't do anything while he's here, but he's here. You know what I mean.
I expect we'll be home by mid week, hope so anyway.
Well Sethsaid he was HUNGRY about half an hour ago, so I told him to order whatever sounded good to him. He ordered a personal pan pizza and fried rice!!!! Whatever. At this point if he'll eat it, fine. We pray over everything anyway. Besides thanking God for the food we add please make it safe to eat and not let it hurt him in anyway. Amen
That's all for now. Love, The Eubanks'
Oh yes, a PS prayer. Nick left for Playa del Carmen this morning for a little getaway. He and his friend Brian will be there until Friday evening. Pray for safety and a relaxed time. Thanks. V

Hey, All you guys are making ME hungry for pizza, 'cause I DIDN'T have pizza. Good choice Seth, seems to be the choice of this evening. We're praying for a restful, healing sleep. Vickie, Seth will thank you later for the little well-intended "joy ride". Even still, you're making progress !! One step at a time. Praise God!! LOve you guys.

well I really do wish you guys could go home sooner, but hey it looks like I can come visit you guys on Tuesday! My dad and I are driving down and we can leave a little earlier and visit you guys before my appointment (and maybe after, depending on how long the appointment takes. My dad needs to be back in Dubuque by 11, though.)
Sounds like a roller coaster ride, all these ups and downs.
Hope to see you in 36 hours!
Laura

Hope you have a good night's rest tonight! You know how crazy mornings are on mondays with all those doctors doing there rounds. Especially Dr. Bishop!

Gosh, I had leftover Aggatucci's pizza. Was wonderful. Hope yours was, too. Dad & I have to deliver an entertainment center tomorrow that we finished for a lady. Left a message with Carla about coming to see you both on Tuesday. She hasn't gotten back yet. I sure enjoyed reading about your adventure you had today. I'm sure you will never forget it. Love ya!
