Go Troy, Go!

Therapy was bright and early at 9am. Sounds ridiculous but, when your husband has a really hard time sleeping and doesn't fall asleep until 1am-3am it seems like 5am! He is still taking his prescribed medicine for sleeping, Seraquil. He usually takes it every night before therapy and the nights he really struggles to fall asleep. He typical pops some Melatonin too on top of that. He has been on those meds for so long, I have a feeling it's not working as good as it did when he first started it. 

Troy was able to do some fun activities in therapy today! I had asked the therapist if we could practice ladders. I would rather practice those more dangerous things with him in therapy and not right when he gets back to work. He did so good. I was nervous the whole time but the therapist was very confident Troy had his balance and could hold his own on the ladder. Troy wasn't content with just climbing the ladder, he asked to take the ceiling tiles out and check out the electrical. The therapist didn't have a problem with it and before you know it Troy was standing on the top of the ladder looking into the ceiling. 

I have learned over the last few weeks that we don't know what tomorrow holds. It's been easier said than done. I'm constantly feeling anxiety over him doing too much or doing something too dangerous. I'm that "hover wife". I have been really trying to step back and let him explore his boundaries. I trust that he won't cross those boundaries, he wants to continue to keep improving, and he knows to not put himself in a position where he could make a bad judgement call. 

I met with the social worker today and she asked, "how do you feel Troy is doing?" HA! Really? Troy is doing fantastic!! She asked how I was handling all of "this". I love that question because really, it's been a challenging experience but so rewarding! I have said so many times I had crazy God strength through this whole experience. It made me feel invincible. I almost feel wrong saying, it wasn't that hard. I was so confident Troy was going to be OK. I gave Troy up to Jesus right away, I started praying as soon as I saw him lying in the grass. Life crisis' happen and you have no other way to turn other then to give God the control. It makes all life's crap, so much less crappy! 

I'm so incredibly greatful for Troy. His attitude and love of life shines everyday. He has taught so many, so much. He is strong, confident and so driven. Each and every girl deserves a Troy. He makes life so much better, so much happier! Life would not be the same without him. I don't know how I got so lucky! I just want to sqeeze him all the time! ☺️

Tomorrow's CT is at 2pm. Troy claims, "he has never had one of those before" 😳 Yeah, OK Troy! 😂
