Happy HUMP day everyone!

All is going well here on the coast! Rik is feeling better, Alvin is doing dandy, and more visitors arriving!

Yesterday, I used my handy, dandy little trimmer and trimmed up under Al's nose and all over his "fuzz"! He also used his electric razor himself! This in itself is a huge achievement for him! It has been so long since he had the strength to hold the electric shaver! Although I cannot say the same. While I was using my pencil size trimmer on his erratic eye brows, I, yes, I dropped it right on his face!! I just couldn't believe it! I profusely apologized and thankfully he laughed about it and asked me to stick to under the nose area!! Lol just love him!! After the brutal trim, he said he felt like himself again! He was just beaming!! He really wanted Rik to see his fresh face so we texted the pic to Lani asking her to share....

I have a ton of photos to include in this blog, so I will try to keep it short...haha

Alvin's week so far has been fabulous. He is feeling good and strong, has been excelling in all of his therapies he is just down right movin' right along! I also included some pics of his PT!

Today Amber her husband Matt, their darling little Lucy, Bridgett and Kevin all arrived for a nice and hilarious visit! Lucy is just a little peanut, sweet heart through and through! She was playing with her mom and would run back over to GGpa Al, grab his legs, look right into his eyes and say, "HI" then take off again to find her mom. What a fabulous sight this was to be a part of! Alvin just boasts about Lucy giving him high 5's and those icy blue eyes-just like GGpa Al. Anyhow, moving on.

From what I understand, Rik hasn't been in to see Alvin for quite a few days. I am glad she is taking it easy, especially since she has already been in the hospital, I am sure she would rather be home. Glad to see her recovering well. I am sure she will be visiting her love as soon as she can, until then, al and I will keep up the clean shavenness....

I am going to try to squeeze in a foot rub between therapies tomorrow! I whipped up my own recipe for a massage lotion for his feet and arms, yeah, I really did!! He loves the smell, I rubbed a little on his right hand and we are making sure none of the scents or oils bother him. His poor feet are just starved for moisture, so I think this recipe might help. Cross your fingers!

Well I am going to stop jabbering and start adding pics, enjoy!!
