We've talked to Mike several times throughout the weekend. He was very happy to be home, and working on adjusting to his new surroundings. He did confirm that Cole was a bit of a challenge, simply because he is so happy to have Mike home. He has a lot of people around that are helping out, so that is very good. We had some lengthy conversations, and overall, he is in good spirits, and feeling "ok". When we've asked about his pains...he has said multiple times "it's not too bad". He indicated the pain medication he is on is working, so that is certainly helping to make him comfortable. He is anxious to move forward with his PT and OT, primarly so that he can become more mobile and functional. From what he's said to us, he is very anxious to get some mobility back into his right hand, as that will help him get around better. At first thought, we couldn't figure out why having his hand better would help him "get around" better, but of course, then we realized he could begin to use crutches, rather than a walker!
All-in-all, he's doing well. When we talked to him last night, he was pretty tired, and we concluded he was just very worn out. It's been a long week to say the least, and the move back home seems to have tired him out a bit, as would be expected. But he was in a good mood, and we did share a bunch of laughs.
Please do continue to send good thoughts for a speedy recovery. As he is back home now, you can reach him on his cell phone if you'd like to call. (I won't post his cell # here as this is a public blog, but if you need it, please email me).
I will post any new updates here as I get them, and likely scale back on the emails for now, so please don't forget to check back for updates.
Love & Blessings,
karin
