I still haven't figured out why when I see Chris achieve or start to achieve a goal why I cry?
This morning the OT came and started working with Chris to try to get him to dress himself. He was very successful in his first attempt to put his pants and shirt on.
Next she wanted him to try to shave himself. So we set up his supplies and a basin of water and he shaved himself with a straight edge. He really did a good job. Watching him shave again reminded me of all the mornings we would be in the bathroom together getting ready for work and I would watch him shave being amazed at how fast he did it and never cut himself.
Then we did a transfer from the bed to his wheelchair using the transfer board. It went GREAT!!!!!!! Today he actually was putting weight on his legs to try to help me.
So when the OT left what did I do but cry 
I was out on the back porch and in no way could I stop the tears. The only thing I can figure out is that it is very emotional for me to finally see my husband starting to succeed after I was told that he would be a vegetable the rest of his life. I thank God everyday that he gave me the strength to keep on fighting to get Chris out of that nursing home.
