The word on the street is that Dad will be heading home next Wednesday! Hooray! The teams of doctors working on him met yesterday with the physical therapist to give an over all evaluation of his healing and abilities. They all said that they think if he keeps healing and working the way he is now, he should be home on Wednesday. He slept really well last night and is feeling good today.
That leaves Mom and the rest of the family scrambling to get the house ready. Mom's heading home this afternoon to re-arrange the living room so that Dad can set up shop with his bed and wheelchair. The folks from Sanford Contractors are coming Monday to start working on the ramp and sidewalk to the front door. Brent said it would look like "Extreme Home Makeover" in the front yard for a while. Hopefully someone will be there to get some pictures for us!
Physical therapy is going really well. They have attached rubber band-type material to his trapeze bars on his hospital bed that hangs down within his reach so that he can pull himself up and strengthen his arms. He's going to have HUGE arm muscles soon. :)
Mom has taken pictures of Dad's doctors and nurses and is going to upload them and send them to me today. I can't wait to see them because with the improvements he's made, he's going to look even better than when I saw him last. Mom said that the Cox's from our church came by and brought a huge basket full of different snack foods and fruit. Thank you all so much! I think that's all the updates I have. Keep praying!
