Never underestimate the power of family. Over the weekend Truett's brothers, Boyce and Kenneth,and Kenneth's wife, Darlene, visited us.
Just having Truett's brothers here for three days caused Truett to push himself to become more independent. Truett transferred himself on a regular basis to and from his wheelchair and to and from the toilet. We praised him for taking charge. I know Truett wanted to prove to his brothers that he is getting well.
On Friday Boyce and Kenneth took Truett to the Opthamologist and to Perkin's Restaurant for a hearty breakfast.
On Saturday the three brothers went to Chiefland for lunch at The Lighthouse; and at nights we ate meals that Darlene had prepared and brought with her.
At nights the George brothers and I played Rook for hours. Jokes were told, wise cracks were made and there was a lot of laughing and praises.
The power of family definitely had a healing effect on Truett.
Gorgeous pictures, great post, wonderful news! I love you.
