Jeanie and I had a GREAT time visiting with Ona and Randall and I was truly amazed at the progress he's made. He still has a way to go but therapy at Baylor is awesome! He has the opportunity for literally everything to help him progress. He counted to 10, raised his arms above his head on command, eats amazingly well, and generally looks just like always. He doesn't have that "stare that isn't really seeing" look at all! He kept looking at Ona and patting her though and it was so sweet. Ona has been nothing short of amazing through this ordeal. I worry about her not taking care of herself but she seems to be thriving and withstanding really well. She was SO happy to see us and just hugged us and cried. It was really touching for all of us! We spent the night across the street in her room (it has a bathroom, 2 twin beds, a recliner and a tv which was more than we needed!) because she spends her nights in the room with Randall sleeping in a chair that pulls out to a bed. It was like the one in Mom's room and a hair short of being useless!lol His doctor came in yesterday morning and she was adorable!!! She is exactly what Ona needs to help her stay grounded. Ona was worried to death about Randall yesterday morning to the point of total nervousness because he had an issue with some diarrhea and she was scared. When the doctor came in she told her that it was fine and nothing at ALL to worry about! She also told her that they had gotten his blood work back and it was PERFECT!!! Ona just cried. You could tell she was so worried and so relieved to know he's ok physically. Jeanie and I both kept saying how glad we were we went and how we have got to make a point of driving to Canadian at least once a year to visit with them because I'm not sure when/how/if she'll be able to get Randall all together and drive to us. I just don't see it for any time in any distant future but I could be wrong. Ona called last night to make sure we made it home and to thank us for coming. She said Randall had done awesome in therapy yesterday. I'd like to encourage any or all of you that can go to Dallas to see her/him while they are there to do it because you could tell she loved having the company and diversion. It was AWESOME going and an awesome place for him. He's going to be ok and that's the main thing! They will get through it together and she knows she will/can do anything he needs done. She got up him from bed to chair yesterday for the first time by themselves and she was so proud of herself as she should be!!! Oh and Pam she cried when she got the note/card from Jim yesterday and had us read it and it was precious! He's a great guy! Jeanie and I didn't get home till about 6 last night and she decided to spend the night. She still had nothing to wear to the upcoming wedding either and we went out to shop. She did find shoes and a dress that are so cute! Espadrille (sp??) shoes that are black with white dots(heels but not too tall) and a black dress that is sleeveless with a little fullness in the skirt but not too much. It fit her so good across the shoulders and chest area too! She'll have a corsage on the dress which will give it a little color and she's going to find a purse with color too. She found a couple of purses but wanted to check at home to see if she didn't have one first because she wants one that is maybe straw with color. The one she carried around for a while in the buggy was straw with big balls of bright colors almost like flowers on it. You'll be adorable Jeanie!! She left this morning heading home and plans on seeing Mom/Dad today. I'm going up soon but not sure when. Katilyn's birthday is coming up this weekend and I don't want to miss that and I work Friday. I'll post after I go!lol Love to all, Judy
