He's Coming Home

Great news. Chris is coming Home. Thurs Dec 10 the kids and i will go down and get him. He is doing so well, he is walking without a walker for short distances. he only has one unit of oxy during the day if needed. he is going for long periods of time without oxy. last week i went down alone one day and Chris and i got to go out to dinner and i stayed overnight. it was awesome. his strength is returning well. his attitude is remaining positive and enthusiastic. he even promised to take me dancing when he is able. through his entire stay at the rehab hospital he has remained focused and ready to go. every time he has a therapy session he does exactly what is expected or usually better. his diabetes is fully controlled by diet and exercise and being checked daily, he has lost over 90 pounds and 4 pant sizes. even his wedding ring is a bit loose. it was a rough way to diet but he is so much healthier now. he really looks good.his voice is improving greatly. the trake incision is healing perfectly. his shakiness is gone.his right side has caught up to the left.he is doing great. we are both looking forward to enjoying this Christmas all together at home and going to all the local festivities.

By the way we are finally finished moving.

In the middle of this medical journey a friend extended an invitation to Templeton Community Church. we are so glad that he did, it has been such a wonderful thing in so many ways for our family.it is exactly what we neede we are all looking forward to going to church all together for the first time this Sunday.

Our new life has a very bright outlook. This Medical journey is not by any means over, but we are finally OUT OF THE WOODS.

i will post again soon.

Happy Holidays to all.
