Hey everybody, I think I've told most of you but our plans are now finalized. We'll be moving to a different apartment this week. Our new place doesn't have any internal stairs to go up and down all day. Since stairs are about the only thing that still causes a lot of pain in my leg, we're hoping that reducing our need to use them will drastically help. Bethany and I are very excited about the opportunities for recovery that this new place will bring.
We do need help loading and unloading our truck. So if any of you living close are able and willing, we'll be loading the truck Wednesday evening and unloading Thursday evening. We rented the biggest U-haul available so we won't have to pack like a jigsaw puzzle, so it shouldn't take long at all. In our past moves, it's only taken about 1.5 hours to unload and 2 to load.
I also wanted to give you all an update on us... Bethany is doing great in her new job at the Meridian St. Lukes. They've been training her in triage, c-sections, and fetal resuscitation. They're very in to improving the knowledge of their employees at St. Lukes which Bethany really likes. Her next step will be to get qualified to work in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU). My leg is doing pretty good. My appointment a few weeks ago confirmed that my leg is still broken. My docs don't really anticipate it to ever heal at this point. But the rod that they put in is stable and supporting my weight well which is helping with the pain. Due to the difficulties i have with carrying weight we decided that I shouldn't strap on a back pack and rush in to school this semester. So we are going to focus on getting my leg better for the next 5 months and start school back up again in time for the summer term at BSU. Claire is growing up fast. She's been getting much more mobile lately. She can roll from front to back like a champ and is so close to rolling from back to front. She'll be five months old tomorrow.
We just got our first real good snow storm here in Kuna! It's awesome to be able to enjoy the Christmas season again. I look forward to it all year, every year.
Hope every thing is going great for all of you! HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Morgan & Bethany

So glad to hear things are improving. That will be nice not to have to traverse the stairs all day long. Believe me, I can understand that in my current pregnant state. Going up & down, over & over again is about to do me in!! Good luck with the move, Bro. Sorry we aren't around to be some help to you. Although, this pregnant mama isn't much help anyway. I'm moving REAL SLOW these days. Baby #6 is killing me off. I can hardly even walk. The end result is great, but getting there is the challenge. I'm hoping that I'll feel good enough to come to the reunion. I've got a doctor's appointment on Thursday and we'll see what he has to say and also consider how I'm feeling. I'm pretty darn uncomfortable right now. Not too much longer though, right? That's what I keep telling myself.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the acheivements at work Bethany! All I can picture is an episode of ER with a bunch of doctors and nurses running around and then Bethany intabating some patient? Do you intabate people??? That's pretty cool! Anyway, I was able to rearange my school schedule for earlier in the day so I'll be able to help you guys move on both Wed and Thurs night. Thanks again for taking such good care of the house.
