Thursday, February 26th

Big News!! Tentative discharge date: next Thursday, March 5th! Marion mentioned discharge yesterday for the first time, so I think that he is ready. I just hope that I am too.

By the time he goes home we will know whether he will have therapy at home or go to out patient therapy. That may well depend on how well we can transfer him into our car, his is too low, and the Pilot seat may be too high, but the therapists will work with him next week on that. Also, for long excursions, or where he might be jostled and sustain a fall, we will have a wheel chair, but the walker will do for short jaunts. Todd has offered to come and put support rails in the bath tub as needed, so necessary arrangements are being handled as they come up it seems.

The word each day at the hospital is how hard he works, not any surprise to those of us who know him is it? That is certainly part of what has gotten him this far! However, the prayers are the biggest part of the true miracle in his recovery. We are so grateful for the continuing love and support from our family and friends and it appears as though the hospital part of this journey may be drawing to a conclusion. Thank you again, love, Sue
