Sorry it has been so long we have been very busy. i have been moving. we are unable to keep the house we are renting so we are trying to get out by DEC 1. Chris is doing very well. his trake came out in the first week of rehab and is healing very well. he is down to 3 liters of oxy full time and still getting daily nebulizer treatments. he is eating normally now. his right side is almost completely caught up to his left and almost all the shakiness is gone. he still has his go,go, go, attitude. yesterday was his third day of walking and he walked 260 ft with a walker and stood up out of his wheel chair by himself. we also learned how to get him in and out of our truck. the kids and i have gone down several times. his speech and short term memory are doing great most people would not know he had suffered strokes.his weight is down to 250. after being in rehab for about 5 days they said he was no longer diabetic because he had perfect numbers and stopped checking his numbers at all. the staff and i discussed this and he is still being checked before breakfast everyday again, his numbers are staying down with diet and exercise. next week i am going to go see him without the kids and we get to go out and have dinner. we are hopeful he gets to come home around the 9th of Dec. he is expected to come home with a wheelchair and a walker and a few other pieces of other home equipment including oxy for just a little while. the kids have fun helping tote daddy's oxy tank for him. thank you again to everyone. its been really busy lately. i have been packing and moving every day. i will try to update again again soon. hope everyone had a good thanksgiving yesterday. the kids and i drove down and back. happy holidays to all
